0.1 L; Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Ci Mana er August 9, 2010 SUBJECT Award of Contract - 2009-2010 Spot Repair and Slurry Seal Project RECOMMENDATION Approve, by motion, the contract documents and award the standard form contract 00520 for the 2009-2010 Spot Repair and Slurry Seal Project to G. Bortolotto & Co., Inc. of San Carlos, for their responsive and responsible low base bid of $543,591.13, and authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount up to 10% if necessary. BACKGROUND The 2009-2010 Spot Repair and Slurry Seal Project is part of the city's Roadway Management System (RMS) Program, which performs on-going pavement repair and replacement. The purpose of this project is to resurface portions of Edgewood Road, Canyon Road, Alameda de las Pulgas, Femside Street, Goodwin Avenue, Roosevelt Avenue, and Hopkins Avenue. The work of this project will make spot repairs to failed areas followed by a slurry seal resurfacing of the designated roadways. Pavement areas fail for a variety of reasons including traffic loads, weather, and intrusive tree roots. After spot repairs are completed, selected roadways will be slurry sealed. Slurry is a cold mixed material comprised of aggregate, asphalt binder, and additives. It is a cost-effective preventive maintenance measure that provides a new wearing surface, seals and protects the underlying pavement from damage due to weather, and extends the useful life of the pavement. In the past, as with the 2008-2009 Slurry Seal Project, the spot repair work has been performed by the city's Public Works Services Department. Reduced staffing and workload constraints prevent the Department from continuing to perform these repairs. The spot repair work has been included in this contract. Subsequent to the slurry application, roadways will be restriped similar to their original alignment. Minor striping changes will take place on some streets. On Hopkins Avenue, existing bicycle lanes will be widened to six feet in each direction instead of five feet. Notice of the proposed roadway project will be mailed to area residents and property owners for receipt on or around August 11, 2010. A press release is scheduled for issue on that same date. The five (5) bids received at the bid opening on July 21, 2010 are summarized in the table below.
