| Analysis |
The Engineering Department published a Notice to Contractors requesting bids for the Glendale Avenue Reconstruction from 99th Avenue to El Mirage Road (project 171833.2) on December 3 and 10, 2020. On January 13, 2021, six bids were received. Combs Construction Company, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive and most responsible bid in the amount of $11,861,183.80. Once the bids were received and reviewed, the cost to upgrade the asphalt section to a concrete section was deemed in the best interest of the city. Using the established unit prices from the bid schedule, Engineering staff worked with Combs Construction Company, Inc. to develop the cost to upgrade the roadway east of the New River bridge, including the Glendale Avenue and 99th Avenue intersection, from an asphalt section to a concrete section. The work to be completed under this agreement includes removal of pavement and aggregate base course, installation of cement treated base, aggregate base course and both asphalt and concrete pavement sections. This project also includes ADA upgrades and new sidewalks. Staff anticipates issuing a Notice to Proceed in March 2021.
At the February 9 , 2021 City Council Meeting, Council is also being requested to approve agreements for Kimley-Horn for Construction Administration services for reconstruction of Glendale Avenue and Engineering services for the design of the fiber optic communication line to serve the proposed lift station, and Speedie and Associates for Construction Materials Testing services for the reconstruction of Glendale Avenue. |
