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.
