Memorandum
Attached for your review and consideration for approval, please find a resolution to authorize the award of a construction contract to Ajax Paving Industries, Inc., in the amount of $4,928,322.54, for resurfacing various City streets. The resolution also appropriates $4,928,322.54 from the Street, Bridge, and Sidewalk Millage Unobligated Fund Balance.
This year's resurfacing project includes planned resurfacing of approximately five miles of streets throughout the City, including three (3) major streets, thirteen (13) local streets, and approximately 7,900 feet of shared use asphalt path. Attached, is a list of the proposed locations.
Construction will begin in mid-to-late May 2018, and will conclude by late October 2018. The Contractor will provide an exact schedule for each street, as required, to coordinate with planned community events, such as Art Fair and U of M home football games, in-session school days, holiday periods, and other construction projects.
The contract is a unit-price contract because actual construction quantities may vary. This allows removal, or substitution, of any streets on the proposed list for any reason. Depletion of available funds prior to the completion of all the streets on the list will result in termination the construction contract and deferral of the balance of the streets to a future resurfacing project. The City may add additional streets if the available budget allows.
