PURPOSE:
Bids have been received for the W. Market Street Intersection and Sidewalk Improvements (Contract 2012-107 (EL-5101 DP)). City Council approval of an award to Atlantic Contracting Company, Inc. in the amount of $659,464.95 is requested.
BACKGROUND:
This contract consists of approximately 2600 SY of sidewalk installation along with associated ADA compliant curb ramps. It also includes reconfiguration of the intersection to remove two 'slip lanes' at Walker Avenue and United Street. The bids were opened on April 10, 2014 and the apparent lowest, responsible bidder was Atlantic Contracting Company, Inc. (Greensboro, NC) with a bid of $659,464.95. Atlantic Contracting Company is a certified WBE and DBE. WBE is Women Business Enterprise and DBE is Disadvantage Business Enterprise. Both are North Carolina state certifications.
The DBE goal was: DBE 9%. The contractor met the goals at: DBE = 9.9%.
Other bids received were:
Yates Construction Co. $885,337.75 (DBE 12.5%) Summerfield, NC
Triangle Grading & Paving $1,006,948.20 (DBE 10.1%) Burlington, NC
The anticipated date for start of construction is June 9, 2014 with anticipated completion by November 6, 2014.
BUDGET IMPACT:
The City has a municipal agreement with the NC Department of Transportation for the construction of this project. The initial budget was established at $400,000. The actual contract for this project exceeded this estimate by approximately $259,465 due to unanticipated expenses associated with the reconfiguration of the intersection and slip lanes at Walker Avenue and United Street. Initially, local Transportation bond funds will be used to fund the additional $259,465. The Transportation Department anticipates receiving federal funds to offset the additional $259,465 (80% Federal/20% Local). If and when those funds become available, the budget will be amended allowing the local bond funds to be used for other sidewalk projects.
Funding is available in the following accounts:
$360,000 401-4556-01.6014 A13097 Federal Grant Account (80% Federal/20% Local)
$40,000 401-4556-01.6015 A13098 Federal Grant Account (80% Federal/20% Local)
$259,465 471-4502-15.6015 A11132 2008 Transportation Bond Account (100% Local)
