1. BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract in an amount up to $1,284,810.60 for the Northland Park Avenue Roadway Improvement project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $216,500.00. This improvement will construct new roadway, sidewalks, water lines, storm sewers, and street lighting. The work will be performed from November 1, 2008 to July 31, 2009. The estimated Notice to Proceed date is November 1, 2008. The contractor has been given 150 days to complete the construction of the project.

The curb ramps required at the intersections have already been built with the other streets; thus none are needed for this project. Approximately 1330 lineal feet of sidewalk will be added.
The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and by the Builders Exchange. Four (4) bids were received (3 majority, 1 minority) and tabulated on June 5, 2008 as follows:
