TO: Mayor Thomas J. Weisner
FROM: Timothy Forbes, Superintendent of Streets
DATE: March 14, 2016
SUBJECT:
Authorization to accept the bid from Superior Asphalt Materials LLC, North Aurora, for
The Citywide Asphalt Purchase Program.
PURPOSE:
To obtain City Council approval to accept the bid from Superior Asphalt Materials LLC for the City Wide Asphalt Program.
BACKGROUND:
The Street Division uses the program to purchase asphalt to patch potholes and make small road repairs citywide throughout the year. The bulk material purchase is for daily use in our 1.5 ton capacity pothole patcher from April through November.
DISCUSSION:
Street Maintenance has solicited bids for the Citywide Asphalt Purchase Program. Superior Asphalt Materials LLC and Builders Asphalt LLC were the only two companies to bid.
Builders Asphalt submitted the lowest bid. However when you factor in the round trip wages
Of $56.00 for city personnel to travel to Builders Asphalt in Elburn compared to round trip wages of $14.00 to travel to Superior Asphalt in North Aurora, the overall costs are more expensive with Builders Asphalt. For this reason, it is more economical to accept the bid from Superior Asphalt.
Dollars have been appropriated for this expenditure in account 101-4460-431-65-22
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Failure to approve this expenditure could affect the patching of asphalt roadways.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the City Council accepts the bid from Superior Asphalt Materials LLC.
