Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to award a construction contract to L. J. Construction, Inc. in the amount of $111,641.63 for the Malletts Creek Culvert Crossing at South State Street Project.
The purpose of this project is to replace the existing failing headwall at the downstream (east) end of the Malletts Creek culvert under South State Street (see attached Project Location Map), and to align the new headwall with the direction of flow in the Creek. Currently, severe bank erosion is occurring around the side of the existing headwall and through a cracked storm pipe that discharges through the side of the culvert headwall. The erosion is currently threatening the integrity of the sidewalk adjacent to South State Street. Construction is currently planned for July 2008.
Fifteen sets of plans and specifications were distributed to contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers who expressed interest in the project. Ten (10) bids were received and opened on March 28, 2008. The lowest responsible bid, by L.J. Construction in the amount of $111,641.63, is approximately $60,538.00 lower than the engineer's estimate of $171,580.00. A tabulation of the bids is also attached.
L. J. Construction, Inc. received Human Rights approval on March 31, 2008. All employees of L. J. Construction, Inc. assigned to work on the project will receive compensation in accordance with the Living Wage Ordinance.
Funding for the project is available in the previously established project budget.
