• • <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br />Agenda Date Requested: 1-13-92 <br />Requested By: Ervin Griffith Department: Comm. Develop. <br />XXX Report Resolution Ordinance <br />Exhibits: <br />1) Original bid tabulation <br />2) Bid proposal from Follis Construction for installation of <br />wheel chair ramps and repair of curbs and sidewalks on Main <br />Street. <br />----------------------------------------------------------------- <br />----------------------------------------------------------------- <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />The City of La Porte, in the FY 1991 budget, allotted $40,000.00 <br />to be used for the installation of wheelchair ramps on Main Street. <br />Also to be included was repair to Main Street curbs and sidewalks. <br />In July of 1991, Council authorized granting a contract for repairs <br />to Royalty Construction, the only vendor responding to the original <br />bid invitation. This contract was in the amount of $29,690.00. <br />Royalty went out of business before beginning any repair work. No <br />City funds were paid to Royalty Construction. <br />The $40,000.00 allotted for the Main Street project has been <br />carried over into the FY 1992 budget. Our bidding requirements <br />have been satisfied, therefore, we visited with three (3) <br />additional firms (Taylor and Taylor Concrete Construction, Inc., <br />Krupar Construction, Inc., and Follis Construction, Inc.) to <br />solicit proposals. Only one (1) contractor would agree to do the <br />work. Staff has received a subsequent proposal from Follis <br />Construction. The Follis bid for the same repairs is for <br />$38,379.00. This is within the budgeted amount. Follis <br />Construction is a well established, La Porte based contracting <br />company with a great deal of paving work experience. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider award of contract to Follis Construction in the amount of <br />$38,379.00 for Main Street sidewalk repair and wheelchair ramps. <br />---------------------- <br />---------------------- <br />Availability of Funds: <br />General Fund <br />XX Capital Improvements <br />Other Sharing <br />Water/Wastewater <br />General Revenue <br />Account No.: 025-600-600-804 Funds Available: X Yes No <br />----------------------------------------------------------------- <br />----------------------------------------------------------------- <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br />Robert T.
