Title
Resolution to Extend the Contract with Doan Construction Company (Bid No. 4417) for the 2017 Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Project ($750,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to extend the Construction Contract with Doan Construction Company (Bid No. 4417) for the 2017 Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Project.
Budget Impact
The project is an anticipated annual expenditure and will be funded from the approved Street Resurfacing and Sidewalk Repair Millage capital budget for an amount of $750,000.00.
During the past five construction seasons, 2012 - 2016, the Sidewalk Repair Program has repaired numerous sidewalks throughout the entire City. Beginning in 2017, the Sidewalk Repair Program will revisit neighborhoods that where work had been performed in 2012. The attached map shows the areas of the City where work will be done in 2017.
In addition to sidewalk repairs, the project also includes the continued replacement of sidewalk curb ramps to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as required by our Consent Decree. The ramp repairs completed in 2017 will fulfill the City’s obligation under the Consent Decree. In future years, ramp replacement will continue under the annual resurfacing program and other capital projects.
Doan Construction Company was the low bidder for the 2016 Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Project, which provides for a one-year extension to the 2017 construction season, by mutual agreement of the City and the Contractor. Doan Construction Company was also the low bidder and contractor for the previous years’ Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Projects. Based on Doan Construction Company’s performance over the last five years, City staff recommends that their contract be extended for one year as allowed for in the 2017 contract.
The Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Project is created as a unit price contract with the understanding that the actual quantities used in construction will vary.
Doan Construction Company complies with the requirements of the nondiscrimination and living wage ordinances.
