1994 BITUMINOUS SEAL COAT PROJECT
prollosed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to award
the contract for the 1994 Bituminous Seal Coat Pro;ect to
Bituminous Roadways Inc.
The bid opening for the 1994 project was held at city Hall on
April 21, 1994.
Primary Issues to Consider.
o Bid tabulation and recommendation
Bidder Total Bid
Bituminous Roadways Inc. $27,053.85
Caldwell Asphalt Co. 27,557.90
ASTECH Corp. 27,767.12
. Allied Blacktop 31,259.19
Engineer1s Estimate $26,650.00
All bids were submitted with required bid security and made
by qualified contractors. The low bidder, Bituminous
Roadways, Inc., has performed seal coating for the city in
the past. Their past performance is satisfactory and staff
recommends award of bid to this firm.
o 1994 Seal Coat Budget
The city has budgeted $48,000 towards the current seal coat
program. From the time the budget was established, staff
has omitted certain neighborhood streets from seal coating
consideration, e.g., Knollwood Neighborhood. This in part
accounts for the large disparity between the budgeted
$48,000 and the contractor's bid of $27,053.85. The low bid
is for bituminous material and aggregate installed. The
purchase of bituminous patching materials and aggregate
mater ials is covered by separate line i tern in the city
budget.
