4.7. SR 05-20-2013 Elk ` - REQUEST FOR ACTION River TO ITEM NUMBER Mayor and City Council 4.7 AGENDA SECTION MEETING DATE PREPARED BY Consent May 20, 2013 Justin Femrite P.E., City Engineer ITEM DESCRIPTION REVIEWED By Authorization to Solicit Bids for the 2013 Seal Coat Project Suzanne Fischer, Community Operations and Development Director REVIEWED BY Mark Thompson, Street Superintendent ACTION REQUESTED Authorize by motion, staff to solicit bids for the 2013 Seal Coat Project. BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION As part of our annual street maintenance program, staff has prepared plans for the 2013 seal coating project. The attached figure shows the areas programed to be seal coated in 2013. The Plan includes an alternate to crack fill streets scheduled to be seal coated in 2014. It will only be considered if the budget allows. With the alternate bid, staff can evaluate the cost of the work and determine if it is more cost effective to contract or self-perform the crack filling in the future. In addition to the seal coating of the streets,we have worked with the Parks Maintenance Division to include an item in the bidding documents to complete fog sealing of selected trail segments under the same contract. By combining these maintenance projects,we hope to receive more favorable bids on the trail maintenance work than if it were to be contracted separately. Upon approval of this item, staff will advertise the project for bidding and bring the lowest responsible bid back to the City Council for approval. FINANCIAL IMPACT The budget for the 2013 Seal Coat program is $389,750. The plans include provisions to eliminate areas from the project if the budgets are less than the final bid.
