6" CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Approve Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for 3,000 Tons
of Asphalt Materials for Fiscal Year 2006107
MEETING DATE: April 19,2006
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve specifications and authorize
advertisement for bids for 3,000 tons of asphalt materials for fiscal
year 2006/07.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The asphalt materials purchase is needed to carry out the annual
street maintenance program that is guided by the Pavement
Management System used by the Street Division and is consistent
with past practices. The street maintenance program includes the
thin overlay program and routine pavement repairs at an estimated cost of $156,000. This is a simple
purchase of materials which has traditionally been bid on by the only two asphalt suppliers in the area.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department at the Municipal Service Center.
The amount of asphalt used by the Street Division has been reduced by 25%, from 4,000 tons to 3,000
tons, over the past two years due to budget reductions. The amount of asphalt requested for fiscal year
2006107 is the same tonnage of asphalt approved for fiscal year 2005106, but the estimated increase in
cost of $33,700 over the last fiscal year is due to the escalating cost of asphalt. As the 2006107 budget
has not yet been finalized, should the full amount of funding needed not be made available, staff will
reduce the amount of asphalt to match the level of funding. The request is being made now in order to
have a supplier in place for the summer maintenance season.
FISCAL IMPACT: This budget expense will assist the Street Division in its continuing effort to
maintain the City of Lodi's asphalt paving.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: The money for this material will be coming from the Street Operating
Budget 2006107.
