Title
Resolution - A Resolution Awarding H&H Concrete on Demand, Inc., Custom-Crete and Cornerstone Ontime Concrete, LLC as the Vendors for Small Batch Mix On-Site Concrete for City Wide Street and Sidewalk Repairs (Street Department Maintenance Budget - General Fund)
Requested Action
Consider the Resolution awarding H&H Concrete on Demand, Inc., Custom-Crete and Cornerstone Ontime Concrete, LLC as the vendors for small batch mix on-site concrete for miscellaneous city wide concrete street and sidewalk repairs.
Recommendation
The Public Works Department Staff recommends approval of the Resolution.
Description/History
City crews perform concrete curb, panel and sidewalk replacements and repairs on city streets throughout the year. With these repairs the concrete mix must be purchased from vendors who are able to meet the city schedule and provide smaller quantities for the smaller repairs (individual concrete panels, sidewalks and curbs). The ability to meet these schedules and smaller quantities are provided by concrete vendors who provide mix on-site concrete that can be tailored to the amount needed for each application.
Request for vendors was advertised in the Star Telegram and bids publicly opened on December 27, 2017. There were three bidders for the project. The three bidders had similar unit prices for concrete. The cost differential between all 3 bidders for a 10 cubic yard delivery of 4,500 psi concrete is $20.00.
All three vendors currently do work in Mansfield and the City is satisfied with quality and value of their work. The Public Works Department intends to use all three vendors. The three vendors will allow for more options for scheduling of concrete deliveries and multiple projects will be able to be poured simultaneously. The selection of three vendors will also ensure better service and more options if a vendor’s performance falls below acceptable levels.
The estimated total expenditure by the Public Works Department for concrete materials is $175,000.00 to $250,000.00 per year. These funds are appropriated with the adopted departmental budget. The Department intends to spread the work to all three vendors. The award is for one year with the option to renew for 4 additional one year periods subject to appropriations.
Justification
H&H Concrete on Demand, Inc., Custom-Crete and Cornerstone Ontime Concrete, LLC have provided concrete materials for the Public Works Department and the City is satisfied with the materials provided and the ability to meet the City’s schedule.
Funding Source
The funding source is the yearly Street Department budget appropriations from the General Fund.
