Explanation

Background: The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, periodically performs full depth reclamation of the existing pavement materials on selected roadways as part of the City's effort to recycle material and extend the life of the roadway pavement. Street resurfacing improves rideability and reduces street maintenance expenses. This legislation authorizes the City to enter into a contract in an amount up to $421,919.65 for the 2008 Pavement Recycling and Overlay project and to pay construction inspection costs up to $42,191.96.

For this type of contract, specialized equipment is used that grinds the existing pavement and mixes in a heated emulsion. The mixture is then compacted and a new surface course of asphalt is placed over the recycled pavement. The pavement for Dubose Road, Truro Station Road, and Johnson Road will be recycled. The reuse of existing pavement reduces the need for raw materials (aggregate and binder) and reduces energy costs.

The estimated Notice to Proceed date is July 21, 2008. This project has been given 60 days to complete construction.

There are no sidewalks or ADA curb ramps to be constructed under this project.

The project was let by the Transportation Division and was advertised in the City Bulletin, Dodge Reports, and by the Builders Exchange. Two (2) bids were received (2 majority, 0 minority) on May 22, 2008 and tabulated on May 29, 2008 as follows:

Strawser Paving Company $421,919.65
Decker Construction Company $422,459.21

Award is to be made to Strawser Paving Company c.c. # 31-4412354 (expiring 4/1/09), as the lowest, best, most responsive and most responsible bidder.

Emergency action is requested to allow construction to begin on or around July 21, 2008, permitting the project to be constructed in the 2008 construction season.

Fiscal Impact: Funding for this project is budgeted with the Transportation Division as part of the Capi...
