Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Approve A Construction Contract With KIK Underground, LLC For The Northland Estates Paving and Utility Improvements Project In An Amount Not To Exceed $5,266,909.50.
Body
BACKGROUND:
This contract will provide for the reconstruction of five streets in the Northland Estates Subdivision, including Northland Street, Evergreen Street, Greenmeadow Drive, Greenhill Drive, McCoy Court and associated alleys. The project scope consists of the reconstruction of approximately 7,400 linear feet of residential street pavement, 3,900 linear feet of alley pavement, 4,200 linear feet of water lines, 4,300 linear feet of sanitary sewer lines, 700 linear feet of storm drainage pipe and 110 linear feet of drainage channel. This project was approved by the voters as part of the 2018 Bond Election.
The duration of construction is 300 calendar days. Construction will be performed such that all of the streets and alleys will not be under construction at the same time. Project signs will be placed at the neighborhood entrances during construction. Residents will be notified in writing regarding the construction schedule prior to the start of construction. A neighborhood meeting with the residents and the contractor will be held prior to construction. Additional handouts will be distributed as needed during the project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Four bids were received on June 8, 2023. The low bid, in the amount of $5,266,909.50, was submitted by KIK Underground, LLC. The engineer’s estimate for the project was $5,638,280.00. KIK Underground has satisfactorily completed similar projects within the past three years. Funding is available in the Streets Consolidated Account, Drainage Consolidated Account and the Utility Consolidated Account.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
This project will support the City Council’s strategic objectives and vision of building a community that families and businesses want to call home by:
- Sustaining quality of life - Improvements in the subdivision should improve the appearance of the neighborhood and promote residents to provide better upkeep and maintenance of their properties.
- Sustaining day-to-day operations - The replacement of substandard street and alley pavement, water, sanitary sewer and stormsewer lines should reduce the need for non-scheduled or emergency repairs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends that City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a construction contract with KIK Underground, LLC for the Northland Estates Paving and Utility Improvements Project in an amount not to exceed $5,266,909.50.
