Title
Consider Authorizing The City Manager To Approve A Contract With 3D Paving And Contracting, LLC For The A.W. Perry NOTICE Street Reconstruction Project In An Amount Not To Exceed $1,836,847.45.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The A.W. Perry neighborhood was originally developed in the 1930s and 1940s. This is a NOTICE project and will elevate the neighborhood infrastructure to coordinate with many of the Downtown Carrollton/TOD area features, including curb and gutter streets, streetlights, sidewalks, and brick paver entry ribbons from Denton Drive. This contract will provide for the reconstruction of five streets in the neighborhood, including Cotton Street, Pear Street, Palm Street, North Main Street, and Jackson Street. The project consists of the installation of approximately 2,405 linear feet of residential street pavement, 2,300 linear feet of sidewalks, 2,130 linear feet of 8” water line, 1,170 linear feet of 8” sanitary sewer line, 480 linear feet of storm sewer pipe, and 11 streetlights.
The duration of construction is 320 calendar days. Construction will be performed such that all streets will not be under construction at one time. Project signs will be placed at the entrances to the subdivision while it is under construction. The project has been placed on the monthly Construction Update and is included on the City’s website. All residents will be notified in writing regarding the construction schedule prior to the start of construction. Also, a neighborhood meeting with the homeowners and the contractor will be held prior to construction. Additional handouts will be distributed as required during the project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Thirteen (13) bids were received on January 28, 2021. The low bid, in the amount of $1,836,847.45, was submitted by 3D Paving and Contracting, LLC. The engineer’s estimate for the project was $2,300,000.00. 3D Paving and Contracting has performed numerous projects in Carrollton, most recently the Woodlake #3 alley replacements and the Green Ridge/Myerwood street reconstruction project. Funding is available from the Neighborhood Partnership Fund, Streets Consolidated Fund and Utility Consolidated Fund.
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. A.W. Perry is situated in an area of significant public and private TOD investment, and residents in the neighborhood and surrounding area will benefit from the infrastructure and visual improvements.
- Sustaining day-to-day operations - The replacement of substandard street pavement and water and sewer lines should reduce the need for non-scheduled or emergency repairs.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council authorize the City Manager to approve a construction contract for the A.W. Perry NOTICE Street Reconstruction Project with 3D Paving and Contracting, LLC in an amount not to exceed $1,836,847.45.
