REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM Agenda Date Requested: September 10.2007 Requested By: Wayne s~tf- Department: Planning Appropriation Source of Funds: CDBG Account Number 032-9090-519-5110 Report: ~ Resolution: Ordinance: X Amount Budgeted: $241,950 Exhibits: Ordinance & Bid Tabulation CLP #07-4502 Amount Requested: $94,420 Exhibits: Budgeted Item: YES SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Harris County Community & Economic Development Department previously awarded the City a CDBG grant to extend and pave North 7th Street from Madison to the "E" Street ROW as well as a linear connectivity amenity along the "E" Street ROW from North 8th to North 2nd Street. The original grant included utility extensions as well. However, it was decided by staff that Public Works would extend the waterline and it is complete and in place. The original amount awarded by the county was $196,950. As part of the City's leveraging funds, the City surveyed the project area and the Engineering Division designed and bid the project. On the first bidding period, the City received three (3) bids with a low bid of$114,030 from D & W Contractors: . Paving . Drainage . Waterline . Contingencies/Other Work $83,460.00 $960.00 $19,610.00 $10,000.00 The disparity in the above numbers with the bid tabulation is due to the contractor not including the addendum price for the manipulation of the lime sub grade in the amount of $7,000 in the total bid price. Also, as previously noted, the waterline portion of the contract has already been constructed by Public Works. City staffhas notified the contractor and it is mutually agreed that the waterline portion of the project will be omitted from the contract, reducing the contract price to $94,420. Budgeted funds include a $45,000 award from SETH for additional pedestrian amenities along the "E" Street ROW in conjunction with the CDBG project. An additional contract will be awarded at a later date for the linear connectivity amenity. Staff recommends awarding the bid to D & W Contractors for the paving and drainage ofN. 7th Street.
