PURPOSE:
The bids for Contract 2013-081, English Street Sidewalk Improvements were received in November 2018. City Council approval was given on December 18, 2018 for award of the contract to Yates Construction Company, Inc. in the amount of $3,349,064 using EL-5101DL grant funds. City Council approval is requested to revise the resolution in order to modify the funding source to be consistent with current funding arrangements with NCDOT.
BACKGROUND:
This action provides for the use of bond funds rather than NCDOT grant funds for the construction of this project to be consistent with current funding arrangements with NCDOT established under Supplemental Agreement #6 for Project EL-5101DL. These funding arrangements reflect limited federal funding availability, higher than expected construction costs, and the need to expedite delivery of this community priority project. The use of bond funds enables the City to avoid construction delays to the English Street project as well as to other projects to be constructed under EL-5101DL (Yanceyville Street, Pisgah Church Road, and Lees Chapel Road).
This work consists of all labor, equipment, and materials required for installation of 8185 SY of 4" concrete sidewalk and segmental retaining walls; along with ADA compliant concrete curb cuts and driveways.
The bids were opened on November 1, 2018 and the apparent lowest, responsible bidder is Yates Construction Company, Inc. (Stokesdale, NC) with a bid of $3,349,064.00.
