Resolution to Award a Construction Contract to Barrett Paving Materials, Inc. (BID 4079, $2,574,491.50) for the 2010 Street Resurfacing Project
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to award a construction contract to Barrett Paving Materials, Inc. in the amount of $2,574,491.50 for the 2010 Street Resurfacing Project. This annual program is being constrained in size and scope due to the significant investment the City anticipates making to repair the Stadium Bridges over the next two year.
The 2010 Street Resurfacing Project consists of the resurfacing of approximately 5 major streets and 5 local streets located throughout the City. Attached is the street list, showing the estimated order in which the streets will be resurfaced. A list of “alternate” streets is also provided. Construction is scheduled to begin approximately May 17, 2010 and to be completed in October 2010.

Reflecting this flexibility, if any streets on the existing list are removed for any reason, such as conflicts with other projects, need for extensive utility repair, or any other unforeseen circumstances, the streets on the alternate list will be substituted in the approximate order listed. If the funds are depleted prior to the completion of all the streets listed on the attachments, the construction contract will be terminated and the balance of the streets will be deferred to a future Resurfacing Project.
