Mayor Kreutzer read the title of the Resolution into the record.
City Manager Rodriguez introduced Streets and Fleet Director Kimberly Dall and Traffic Engineer Christopher Montoya.
Traffic Engineer Christopher Montoya presented the 2018 Street Preservation Project. This project is intended to preserve the roadway infrastructure and involve a process of evaluation and preparation by utilizing computer aided programs and visual observations. A strategic bid package was prepared that included the base bid with a bid alternate #1 and #2. This gave the City options to award the bid alternates, but not the obligation to do so. Construction is planned to take place for 180 days. This project will cover 23 lane miles of roadway work. Chip seal and slurry seal are product types used for preservation for this project. Pavement markings including striping and crosswalks are included in this project and if there is an opportunity, bike lanes will be added. Asphalt patching and crack sealing are also used for asphalt preservation. The base bid includes work on Main Street, Bromley Lane from Chambers Road to 27th Avenue, and the Preserve Subdivision. Bid alternate #1 includes finishing the work on Brighton Road. Bid alternate #2 includes about half of the neighborhood in Brighton Crossing. One bid was received by A-1 Chipseal for $1,577,971.25, which was less than the budget anticipated for this project. Staff is recommending approval of the base bid for $1,356,021.25 and bid alternate #1 and #2 for $221,950.00. Traffic Engineer Montoya answered questions from Council regarding:
• The ability to “piggy back” on the Adams County asphalt contract for a lower cost.
• Crack sealing being done on some of the roadways before the project begins.
• The criteria used to determine the roadways that are chosen for work.
• The method for reporting sinkholes found by anyone completing work for this project.
Motion by Councilmember Baca, seconded by Councilmember Pollack, to approve Resolution 2018-40 accepting the bid of A-1 Chipseal Co., and awarding the contract for the 2018 Street Preservation Project #99920 in an amount not to exceed $1,577,971.25, and authorizing the Mayor to sign the contract on behalf of the City and the City Clerk to attest thereto.
