SUBJECT:
A Resolution to award a contract to Geneva Construction Co. in the amount of $1,875,989.00 for the 2022 Contract #2 - City Wide Sidewalk, Patching, Striping and Bike Path Overlay Projects.
PURPOSE:
To award a Construction Contract for various maintenance projects throughout the City.
BACKGROUND:
The City maintains over 530 centerline miles of streets that include sidewalks, pavement markings and bike paths. Staff has identified 43,445 square feet of deteriorated sidewalks, 17,793 square yards of deteriorated pavement and over 25 miles of pavement markings that need to be replaced. This project will also include overlaying bike paths, replacing pavement markings on utility projects, sidewalk widening downtown, and other miscellaneous maintenance work throughout the City.
DISCUSSION:
This project was advertised on May 15, 2022 in the Aurora Beacon News, several vendors viewed the documents from the City's website and bids were opened and publicly read on June 6, 2022. The bid tabulation for the four bids received is attached as Exhibit 'A'. The lowest responsible bid was submitted by Schroeder Asphalt Services, Inc of Huntley, IL in the amount of $1,875,989.00 which is 7.07% more than the Engineer's Cost Estimate.
The local preference ordinance applies to this project. Schroder Asphalt was the lowest bidder at a cost of $1,875,989.00. Geneva Construction was the only local business that bid, and their bid price was $1,959,978.75. That is a difference of $83,989.75, or 4.48%, which falls within the parameters of the local preference ordinance (O20-029). Geneva Construction has indicated they will match the low bid amount.
We recommend awarding the 2022 Contract #2 to Geneva Construction Co. for the revised unit prices submitted as Exhibit 'C'. A copy of Geneva Construction Co.'s submitted bid is attached as Exhibit 'B'.
