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.
Action Required bv Council:
1. Approve an Ordinance to award the bid in the amount of $94,420 to D & W Contractors for the
paving and drainage of North 7th Street with the remaining budgeted funds to be used for linear
connectivity amenities in the "E" Street ROW.
2. Direct Staff to issue a notice to commence construction.
