Title
Resolution to Extend the Contract with Precision Concrete Cutting (Bid No. 4418) for the 2017 Ramp & Sidewalk Repair Project ($150,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution to extend the Construction Services Agreement with Precision Concrete Cutting (Bid No. 4418) for the 2017 Sidewalk Cutting Project.

Budget Impact
The project is an anticipated annual expenditure and will be funded from the Street, Bridge, and Sidewalk Millage capital budget.

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 where work had been performed in 2012. The attached map shows the areas of the City that will be targeted in 2017.

The work included in this agreement consists of the horizontal cutting of sidewalk slabs that have "vaulted" or "displaced" joints. By horizontally cutting sidewalk that is in otherwise good condition, the cost of full removal and replacement can be avoided. The scope of the work includes cutting vaulted sidewalk slabs where the vertical displacement is greater than 1/2" in height. Vertical displacements greater than 1" in height are generally considered to be too large for cutting and are typically removed and replaced with new concrete.

Precision Concrete Cutting was the low responsible bidder for the Sidewalk Cutting Project for the previous five years of the Sidewalk Repair Program. Based on Precision Concrete Cutting's previous performance, City staff recommends that their contract be extended for one year as allowed for in the 2016 contract and requests that the City Administrator be authorized to extend the contract one additional year in 2018, subject to the availability of funding, as allowed for in the 2016 contract.

Precision Concrete Cutting complies with the requirements of the nondiscrimination and living wage ordinances.
