Title
Resolution to Approve a Contract with Oak Construction Corporation for Island Park Pedestrian Bridge Abutment Repairs ($119,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a $119,000.00 contract with Oak Construction Corporation to replace the abutments on the northern-most Island Park pedestrian bridge.
The concrete abutments on one of the three pedestrian bridges in Island Park have deteriorated due to age, freeze thaw cycles, and shoreline erosion. The abutments need to be replaced to restore the integrity of the bridge structure. A cost comparison to replace the entire bridge was also considered, but it was determined that the cost would be approximately twice that of replacing the abutments, and the other components of the bridge infrastructure are in good shape
Four bids were received by the City for this project:
Oak Construction Corporation $119,000.00*
Brock and Associates, Inc. $121,000.00
M One Limited Inc. $147,369.00
Gerace Construction Company $159,000.00
*Lowest responsible bidder.
Staff is recommending awarding a contract to Oak Construction Corporation in the amount of $119,000.00 to replace the abutment on the Island Park pedestrian bridge. A 10% construction contingency ($11,900.00) is requested to cover potential contract change orders to be approved by the City Administrator. It is requested that a $130,900.00 contract and contingency amount be approved for the life of the project without regard to fiscal year.
Park bridge repairs are identified in the CIP and PROS plan as park priorities. The project meets multiple Sustainability Goals, including:
? Safe Community
? Active Living and Learning
? Transportation Options
? Sustainable Systems
Funding is available in the approved FY2015 Park Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage budget.
