Title
Resolution to Approve a Construction Contract Renewal with Precision Concrete, Inc. for the Annual Sidewalk Repair Program ($283,908.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your consideration is a resolution to approve the renewal of a construction contract with Precision Concrete, Inc., in the amount of $283,908.00 for the repair and maintenance of the City’s sidewalk system. This is one of two contracts that will be renewed for the 2026 Sidewalk Repair Program, one each for replacements and trimming of sidewalk slabs.
Background
Engineering staff solicited proposals for the Annual Sidewalk Repair Program through the City’s Procurement Unit and received proposals on February 14, 2024.
RFP 24-07 included language that, if both the City and awarded Contractor agree, the contract may be renewed for two additional one-year periods, subject to the availability of funding, with unit pricing remaining the same as the original 2024 contract. The first of two renewals was used to perform sidewalk cutting repairs in 2025. Updates to the 2026 renewal were identified to include revisions to the estimated quantities, completion dates, and contract total.
The original construction contract with Precision Concrete, Inc. (RFP 24-07) received Council approval on March 18, 2024 (R-24-087; File #: 24-0199).
Both parties agree to the original terms outlined in the 2024 contract and are therefore moving forward with renewing the contract for 2026.
2026 Sidewalk Cutting Repair Program
The 2026 Sidewalk Cutting Repair Program consists of horizontally cutting existing concrete sidewalk slabs that have vertical displacements in approximately 20% of the City in 2026, as part of the 5-year Sidewalk Repair Program cycle to annually perform repair and maintenance of the City’s sidewalk system. The attached maps depict the 2026 designated areas.
This is a unit price contract with the understanding that the actual quantities will vary based on assessment of the sidewalks this spring. The construction is scheduled to begin in April 2026 and continue through November 2026.
Precision Concrete, Inc. complies with the requirements of the City’s Non-Discrimination, Prevailing Wage and Living Wage ordinances.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: The estimated total cost for the 2026 Sidewalk Repair Program (TR-AT-22-06) is $1,122,000.00. The project will have no additional operational impacts.
