1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to renew and modify an existing contract with Shelly and Sands, Inc. for the Wheatland Avenue Improvements project in an amount up to $175,000.00 to accommodate unexpected and substantial increases in pavement removal and replacement discovered during the original contract work, that have caused the project costs to exceed the original contract amount.
Ordinance 1108-2024 authorized the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract with Shelly and Sands, Inc. for the Wheatland Avenue Improvements project to convert the roadway to two-way traffic within the project limits. Improvements include concrete curbs, walks, storm sewer, bioretention basin, trees, street lighting, and electric transmission and distribution lines. The existing utility poles and lines will be relocated farther east to provide space for the project, and other work as may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans and specifications set forth in the Bid Submittal Documents.
This project was awarded funds from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program which provides annual grants on a formula basis to entitled cities and counties to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low- and moderate-income persons. The amount needed for this contract was included in the City’s Action Plan for the Community Development Block Grant Wheatland Avenue Street Improvements Project as established in ordinance 2993-2023.
