HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - June 6, 2001 E-10AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Awarding Contract for Stockton Street Reconstruction, Lodi Avenue to
Lockeford Street, to George Reed, Inc., of Modesto ($1,238,230); and Appropriate Funds for the Project
MEETING DATE: June 6, 2001
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution awarding the contract for the above project to
George Reed Incorporated, of Modesto, in the amount of $1,238,229; and appropriate
funds in accordance with the recommendation shown below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of reconstructing Stockton Street from Lodi Avenue to
Lockeford Street. The reconstruction includes removing and replacing asphalt
concrete payment; repairing damaged curb, gutter, and sidewalks; installing new
street lights; installing new water mains; replacing old wastewater pipes; upgrading
storm drain facilities; and other miscellaneous and related work, all as shown on the plans and specifications for
"Stockton Street Reconstruction, Lodi Avenue to Lockeford Street." The plans are on file in the Public Works Department.
The City received two bids for this project and the lowest bid is approximately 25% higher than the engineer's estimate.
One reason for the higher project cost is the higher-than-expected asphalt concrete price. The higher asphalt concrete
price is due to the current high energy costs and oil prices in California. Additionally, contractors are very busy on other
projects as evidenced by the low number of bids received. With that exception, staff feels that the bids are still reasonable
and competitive and recommends the Council award the contract to George Reed, Inc.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on April 4, 2001. The City received the following two bids for
this project:
