RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR TOWER ROAD WIDENING PROJECT, PROJECT NO. PW-03-2014
Body
Summary and Background Information:
Plans and specifications for this work were prepared by Huitt-Zollars, Inc. A mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on March 8, 2016. Bids were solicited through a formal bidding process, which was advertised on the City website and Rocky Mountain E-Purchasing beginning on February 29, 2016. Bids were opened and read publicly at 2:00 p.m. on April 7, 2016. As a part of the pavement design process, a life cycle cost analysis was prepared by the geotechnical engineering firm for the project, GeoCal, which identified that the two pavement types, asphalt and concrete, were within a 10% cost difference of each other. Therefore, both pavement types were bid as alternates. The City received six bids with three of the six submitting proposals on both Alternate A (asphalt pavement) and Alternate B (concrete pavement). Staff is recommending entering into a contract with the low bidder for Alternate A, Flatiron Constructors, Inc.
