Item No. 12 <br />memorandum <br />TO: City Council <br />John Godwin, City Manager <br />FROM: Carla Easton, City Engineer <br />SUBJECT: COLLEGIATE ROAD RECONSTRUCTION <br />DATE: February 3, 2016 <br />BACKGROUND: <br />• Hayter Engineering, Inc. prepared the construction plans for the expansion of a portion of <br />South Collegiate Drive to a 2 -lane boulevard with a center left turn lane. <br />• On February 2, 2016, two bids were received for the project and Richard Drake <br />Construction Co., LP, submitted the low bid in the amount of $984,414.15. <br />• References for Richard Drake Construction Co. were verified in accordance with the <br />contract documents. <br />• The contract documents require this project to be completed within 150 calendar days <br />after issuance of the notice to proceed. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: <br />A summary of the two bids received for this project is as follows: <br />Bidder Bid Amount <br />Richard Drake Construction Company, LP $984,414.15 <br />NACC, Inc. $985,432.54 <br />The initial project estimate was $940,000, so we are somewhat higher than anticipated. <br />However, these appear to be good bids and we do recommend award of a contract. We will not <br />include a bid alternate to repave an adjacent parking area, and will also delete hydro - mulching to <br />get the construction cost down to $973,903.15. We will have additional expenses for <br />engineering and testing. <br />BUDGET: Funding is available from 2010 CO proceeds in the amount of $890,000; other <br />funding will come from General Fund revenues. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Authorize the city manager to execute a contract with Richard Drake <br />Construction Company, LP, for South Collegiate Drive reconstruction project. <br />
