RANDOM REPAIR OF SIDEWALK
Proposed Action
Staff recommends approval of the following motion: Move that Council adopt
Resolution 99-054, Resolution for Award of Bid, Random Repair of Sidewalk.
Overview

zones and completed its inspection of needed repairs. Bid ads were placed in
the Sailor and the Construction Bulletin. A bid opening was held June 24 and
this report concerns the award of contract.
Primary Issues to Consider
" Bid summary
Contractor Bid
Gunderson Bros. Cement $23,699.10
Engineer's Estimate $16,000.00
0 Repair budget
The sole bid is over the engineer's estimate and is just under 20%
0 higher than the City's budgeted $20,000 for sidewalk repairs. Concrete
prices have risen moderately but the contractor explains that
Mainstreet sidewalk repair of its own nature has dramatically driven up
the price'of concrete work.
Staff surveyed plan holders in an attempt to learn why the apparent
disinterest in the project. The overwhelming response was that
schedules through the season were so full, additional clients could not
be reasonably added to the contract loads.
A source of funding for the balance of project costs can be found in
the street seal coat budget. That project has come in $8,000 under
budget and staff anticipates this can cover the sidewalk budget short-
fall as well as extra costs in doing Mainstreet brick paver repairs.
0 Recommendation
Staff has reviewed the bid and found it in order. Staff recommends
award of bid to Gunderson Bros. Cement.
