The project was rebid due to bid prices that were almost double the Engineer’s opinion of probable cost.  Allowing the Contractors more time to complete the project resulted in favorable bids. 

The Pavement Resurfacing project is intended to rehabilitate streets that need maintenance, but do not require a full reconstruction.  The selected streets are good candidates for surface milling and hot-mix asphalt overlays.  

Two streets have been identified for this project.  The outside lanes of 23rd Avenue from S. 35th Street to 23rd Avenue, and North Broadway from East Orchard Avenue to Gunn Avenue.  

This project was included in the FY24 CIP and is funded with $750,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds.  
 

Recommendation

Approval of this resolution to accept the bid of Oldcastle Materials Midwest Co. dba Omni Engineering for the Pavement Resurfacing Project.
