6.1.A. - Page 2 <br /> Five (5) bids were received for the 2012-2013 Slurry Seal Project on May 1, 2013. The <br /> bid results are summarized in the table below. <br /> American Asphalt Repair and Resurfacing Company, Inc. $1,219,153.00 <br /> Windsor Fuel Company $1,224,911.34 <br /> Intermountain Slurry Seal, Inc. $1,231,955.00 <br /> Graham Contractors, Inc. $1,242,325.00 <br /> VSS International, Inc. $1,267,113.00 <br /> The apparent low bid was determined based on the Total Base Bid. The total base bid <br /> of $1,219,153 from American Asphalt is 6.2% lower than the engineer's estimate of <br /> $1,300,000. Staff attributes this variance to a highly competitive bidding environment, <br /> and the size of the project, which allows the contractor more opportunity to achieve <br /> economies of scale. Based upon the bids received, staff believes that the low bid of <br /> $1,219,153 is reasonable and recommends awarding the contract to American Asphalt. <br /> Construction will begin in June and conclude in July.
