Bray Construction in the amount of $2,425,002.00 for the 2013 Bond Fund Water Sanitary Sewer Replacement Project, and provide staff feedback on future street repairs. City Engineer Shawn Napier told the City Council that seven bids were received and that B. Bray Construction was the low bid and in the amount of $2,383.752. Mr. Napier explained the low bid included additive alternatives 1 -6 to cover the entire street width after the utilities had been installed. He said the first three alternates included a type "F" to mix asphalt repair and bid alternatives 4 -6 included micro - surfacing repairs. He explained the projects for Contract B1 included 1) water and sewer for W. Houston Street from Loop 286 to 34th NW Street; 2) water for Maple Avenue between 17th NW and 13th NW Streets; 3) water and sewer for 19th SW Street starting at W. Kaufinan going south to just past the railroad; and 4) a sewer collector line from Battles Lift Station going south to Bonham Street and another section of sewer from the Campbell Street and 28th N.W. Street intersection west to Loop 286. Mr. Napier said the additions would increase the proposed contract by $42,250 making the total contract amount $2,425.002. Council Member Hashmi confirmed with City Manager John Godwin that this complied with the bond. Mr. Godwin said one issue they needed to discuss was Pine Bluff Street was going to be pretty much destroyed, because there were water lines, sewer lines and drainage issues. He said he wanted to let the Council know that there would need to be quite a lot more money spent on that project than the other projects, and they were about to start the engineering on that road project.
