Description/History
This project will connect the two dead ends of National Pkwy making it a through street from Seeton Rd to HWY 360. The project was bid on April 23, 2015 and there were four bidders for the project. Base bids ranged from a low bid of $1,283,553.07 to a high bid of $1,757,440.05. The contract time for this project is 150 working days. The bid tabulation is attached as Exhibit “A” for Council’s review and a location map is attached as Exhibit “B”.
This is the second public bid for this project. In February 2015 all bids were significantly higher than anticipated, the scope was reduced and the project was re-bid. The low bid is still approximately $46,000 higher than the amount that was originally allocated for the project. After both bid openings the developer was asked by City Staff to contribute the additional funds to make up the difference, but they declined to offer any monetary assistance. City staff does not recommend reducing the scope any further and feels that it is in the best interest of the City to award the project and allocate the additional funds necessary to complete the project as designed.
Staff is recommending award of this project to McMahon Contracting, L.P. and authorization of funding for the bid amount plus 5% for contingency for a total of $1,347,730.72.
