The 2004 La Porte City-Wide Sidewalk Improvement Project consists of the removal of existing sidewalks and replacement being with sidewalks or wheelchair ramps (see list of sidewalk locations). The HeadStart project consists of placement of storm sewers and sidewalks, and the Main Street project consists of placement of sidewalk, and driveway construction. These two items are not reconstruction, but were considered because of the request and necessity of sidewalks available. The HeadStart is for a sidewalk from the Northside Center to the Library. The Main Street project is for a sidewalk from Main Street to Old City Hall on South 2nd Street. There are funds available in the Main Street fund to cover the $4,551.59 for the Main Street project. There are enough funds in the CIP contingency fund for the $6,471.36 for the HeadStart project. Public Works will also install storm sewers on this project at an expense of $4,500.00. Survey, design and engineering were performed on this project utilizing City of La Porte personnel. On April 12, 2004, the City received competitive bids from 3 qualified contractors (see attached Bid Tabulation). Brooks Concrete, Inc. of Pasadena, Texas submitted the low bid in the amount of $56,818.30. The contract will be complete within 120 calendar days once the "Notice to Proceed" is issued. Staff has reviewed the bids submitted and determined the low bid from Brooks Concrete, Inc. is within the budgeted amount and that Brooks Concrete, Inc. is well qualified to perform the work. Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Brooks Concrete, Inc. in the amount of $59,659.21 which includes a 5% contingency. Action Reauired bv Council: Consider approving an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a contract with Brooks Concrete, Inc. in the amount of $59,659.21 which includes a 5% contingency.
