SUBJECT:
Title
Approval of the issuance of an invitation for competitive sealed proposals for San Antonio Street from Academy Street to Walnut Avenue as part of the 2013 Bond Program since the City Council finds that this delivery method will provide the best value to the City.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
San Antonio Street is being designed by Cobb Fendley as a rehabilitation project to make spot repairs to the flex base and will be a full surface mill and 2” asphalt overlay which will also include curb and gutter for improvement of stormwater conveyance. Definitive striping and pavement markings will delineate 3 or 4 lanes sections due to the varying widths of the existing roadway.
City staff recommends issuing invitations for competitive sealed proposals (CSP) as the procurement method for the contract to construct this project. The CSP method allows the City to evaluate the most qualified contractors and the best value for the project.
This section of San Antonio Street is also being supplemented with sidewalk improvements, on both sides, by funds from our AAMPO City Wide Sidewalk Project.
