Title
Resolution to Award a Contract for the Kellogg Street Retaining Wall Replacement Project to Brick Paving Designs ($64,364.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to award a contract to Brick Paving Designs for the Kellogg Street Retaining Wall Replacement Project.
This project replaces a City-owned timber retaining wall located on the south side of the Fairview Cemetery along Kellogg Street. This retaining wall is approximately 275 feet long and ranges in height from 2 to 8 feet. A significant percentage of the wall is rotted and has failed. Replacement of this wall is critical to preventing a catastrophic failure and in protecting public safety.
The wall will be replaced with a concrete block retaining wall block to retain the consistency in appearance and quality to other City-owned retaining walls. Concrete block retaining walls have an expected life of approximately 40 to 50 years in comparison to approximately 15 years for a timber retaining wall.

Brick Paving Designs $ 64.364.00
A&H Lawn Service $ 89,028.00
FJ LaFontaine & Sons $ 111,605.00
Horizon Lawn Maintenance $ 120,262.00
The engineer’s construction estimate for this work is $60,000.
