Memorandum
Attached for your approval is a resolution to authorize the award of a construction contract to Cadillac Asphalt LLC, in the amount of $8,899,300.00 for resurfacing various City streets. The resolution also appropriates $1,000,000.00 from the Major Street Fund and $1,990,000.00 from the Local Street Fund Operations and Maintenance Budgets. This funding was allocated via Budget Amendment 1 during the adoption of the FY 20 Budget for Street Resurfacing, Repair, and Capital Preventative Maintenance.
This year’s resurfacing project includes work on nearly 9 miles of streets, including 4 major streets, 39 local streets, and approximately 11,600 feet of shared use asphalt path. Attached is a list of the proposed locations. It also includes repairs to the bike lane pavement on Miller Avenue between Newport Road and Chapin Street, which will be funded by the Alternative Transportation Fund. In addition and as typical for this annual project, repairs to stormwater structures within the project limits are made and are to be funded by the Stormwater Fund.
Construction will begin in early May 2020 and conclude by early November 2020. 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.
Budget/Fiscal Impact: The estimated total cost for this year’s project, which includes the Annual Street Resurfacing Program in the current Capital Improvements Plan as well as various other projects listed separately, is $10,665,000 and includes estimated revenue from the following sources:

Maintenance of Traffic
The contract requires maintenance of local traffic and access to properties throughout most of the construction. On major streets, the contract allows for a mix of both part-width of construction and total road closures. For part-width construction, the contractor will maintain traffic in one direction of travel, and temporarily detour traffic in the opposite direction. For total closures, the road will be open to local traffic only, and other traffic will be temporarily detoured in both directions of travel. In advance of construction and at staff’s direction, the contractor will install signs and/or electronic message boards to notify drivers of upcoming detours and related traffic delays.
Public Outreach
In the fall of 2019, staff met with residents and property owners within the vicinity of the Granger Avenue (S State St to Packard St) project location, which is included in this year’s program, to answer questions and collect feedback regarding user experiences along the street. A second meeting was held in early 2020 to share results of the first meeting, review and discuss design considerations, answer questions, and provide more information.
Staff had planned to hold additional community meetings during the late winter and early spring of 2020 related to the various other project locations; however, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus they had to be cancelled. Staff is currently working on several communication alternatives to provide details to affected property/business owners and residents regarding all the planned project work. Information about the project is also publicly available at: www.a2gov.org/RoadConstruction <http://www.a2gov.org/RoadConstruction>
In addition to the above, staff will distribute a more detailed notice prior to construction on each street. Residents and property owners may check the webpage weekly to obtain updates on the progress of work. The Contractor will distribute additional notices when its work activities and operations directly impact residents and property/business owners.
