SUBJECT: City Council Meeting — May 14, 2009
ITEM: 9D2. Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute a construction contract
with Nelson Lewis, Inc. for Egger Acres and Dennis Drive Improvements.
Department:
Staff Person:
Justification:
Engineering and Development Services
Danny Halden, P.E., City Engineer
On April 21, 2009, fifteen (15) bids were submitted for Egger Acres and Dennis Drive Improvements.
S.D. Kallman, L.P. and City Staff have determined that Nelson Lewis, Inc. submitted the lowest and best
bid and recommends award of this contract to this firm.
Staff is recommending award of the base bid and add/deduct alternatives one thru eight (1-8). This
contract is for construction services to install underground drainage improvements, pavement milling
and resurfacing, and curb and gutter repairs.
Funding:
Cost: $1,237,883.00
Source of funds: 2002 G.O. Bonds
Outside Resources: S.D. Kallman, L.P.
Background Information:
This project was previously bid in the summer of 2008. Because the bid price of approximately
$2,000,000.00 significantly exceeded available funds, the City rejected all bids by resolution on
September 11, 2008. Subsequently, the plans were revised to address the drainage improvements costs
and to modify the pavement milling and resurfacing specifics. It is believed that the bid price today is
substantially different from the summer of 2008 due to today's economic climate and the adjustments
made to the plans.
