City of University City Council Agenda Item Cover MEETING DATE: June 21, 2010 AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Parking Lot #1(Next to the Tivoli) -Pavement Repair Project AGENDA SECTION: Consent Calendar CAN THIS ITEM BE RESCHEDULED? : No BACKGROUND REVIEW: Due to severe deterioration to the pavement surface, the City Parking Lot #1 (next to the Tivoli Theater) requires resurfacing. The condition of this parking lot is poor. This parking lot would be similar to the condition of an asphalt street rated a 2 out of a possible 10 (requires an asphalt overlay). A total of $60,000 was budgeted for parking lot repairs in the Economic Development Sales Tax Fund for the current fiscal year. Considering best management practices for storm water and the approved budget, the City requested four different treatments for the pavement to be restored: regular asphalt, interlocking pavers, pervious asphalt and pervious concrete. The project was advertised in the St. Louis Countian and with two contractor assistance agencies - Mokan (which assists local MBE/WBE contractors in the construction industry and related fields in St. Louis) and McGraw Hill (which assist contractors in the design and construction industry). A total of 6 firms requested the project specifications. On May 28, 2010, the city received and opened finro bids for the project, as follows: Bidder Bid for Regular Bid for Bid for Bid for Asphalt Interlocking Pervious Pervious Pavers Asphalt Concrete Concrete Design $60,475.18 $156,900.20 $130,937.40 $158,533.20 TraMar Contractin No Bid $240,850.00 $167,022.00 No Bid Because of the City's budgetary constraints, the least expensive option is to restore the pavement with regular asphalt. The brick fence will be removed. It will be replaced with a wrought iron fence at the request of the Police Department so that officers can see-through the parking lot. Concrete Design completed the work for the City Parking Lot #5 (across from the Post Office - pervious interlocking pavers) and the firm's performance has been excellent. Concrete Design is not a minority or female owned business enterprise. Concrete Design proposes to use one (1) minority and/or females for this project which will be 10% of the total work force. Concrete Design has an A.M. Best rating of "A" (Excellent) from Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland. RECOMMENDATION: It is the recommendation of the Public Works Department that this project be awarded to Concrete Design for their bid of $60,475.18. June 21, 2010 I-1-1
