SUBJECT:
A Resolution to Award the 2016 MFT Street Resurfacing Projects to Geneva Construction Company and Appropriate Motor Fuel Tax funds.
PURPOSE:
To award the Construction Contract for the 2016 Arterial and Collector Resurfacing Projects and the appropriation of Motor Fuel Taxes (MFT) by IDOT Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The city maintains nearly 1,300 lane miles of streets with a pavement wearing surface life expectancy of 20 to 25 years. Street maintenance includes resurfacing of streets along with crack filling and patching to extend the pavement life. This Construction Contract includes the resurfacing of 16.1 lane miles of Arterial & Major Collector Streets (Exhibit B), 7,465 square yards of pavement patching (Exhibit C), 26 miles of pavement striping (Exhibit D) and 150,000 Pounds of Crack Sealing (Exhibit E).
DISCUSSION:
Bids were opened and publicly read on April 27, 2016. The bid tabulation for the 2 bids received is attached as Exhibit A. The lowest responsible bid was submitted by Geneva Construction Company of Aurora, IL in the amount of $2,419,705.95 which is nearly 10% less than the Engineer's Cost Estimate. Geneva has successfully completed similar projects with the city in the past. We recommend awarding the 2016 MFT Street Resurfacing Projects to Geneva Construction for the unit prices submitted.
The Resolution appropriating Motor Fuel Tax funds in the amount of $2,500,000 for Maintenance is attached as Exhibit F. The 2016 City Budget provides $2,500,000 in account no. 203-4460-431.76-09 (MFT).
IMPACT STATEMENT:
Construction is expected to begin in June and be completed by September. Each street will be under construction for 4 to 10 weeks.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
I request the proposed resolutions be adopted.
