Item No. 15-280
Date: August 10, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Contract Hammond/Union/Ohio Street
Resurfacing & Intersection Improvements Project to Lane
Construction in the amount of $968,193
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commentary:
On July 29, 2015, the City received three (3) bids for the Hammond/Union/Ohio Street Resurfacing
& Intersection Improvements. The bid prices ranged from $968,193 to $1,151,843 (see attached bid
tabulation). The bid price exceeds the available funding by $85,000. This is a BACTS project where
90% of the funding is provided by the Federal/State government and 10% is provided locally. When
situations like this arise with BACTS projects, the first step is to approach BACTS to reallocate excess
funding that may exist. At this time, BACTS is unable to provide us with a commitment for
additional funding. In order for the State to release the project, the City must commit additional
local funds or the project will not be able to move forward.
At the Finance Committee meeting earlier this evening staff reviewed a plan to reallocate certain
designated capital funds to allow this project to be completed. If the project were not be move
forward, the City would need to make improvements to the roadways prior to winter, that would
redirect resources dedicated to the City's annual paving program. Staff will continue to work with
BACTS to obtain additional Federal/State funding for 90% of the additional funding required.
Based on the above staff recommendation is to award the contract to the low bidder Lane
Construction, in the amount of $968,193.
The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as it is over
$100,000.
