Background
The Public Works Department recommends the bid for RFB No. 2026-0418-B Residential Concrete Repair Zone P3 South Phase 2, Project No. PW-S-00030, be awarded to Jim Bowman Construction Company, L.P. in the amount of $949,595; to be accepted as the lowest responsive and responsible bid for the project, conditioned upon timely execution of all necessary documents. A total of 2,892 vendors were notified of RFB No. 2026-0418-B. Eleven (11) submitted a "No Bid" and sixteen (16) bids were submitted.
This project involves the repair of an estimated 7,450 square yards of residential concrete streets and alleys, 8,320 square feet of sidewalks, and 27 barrier-free ramps located in and around Residential Repair Zone P3 South Phase 2.
The Public Works Department employs three options for different types of pavement repair needs. City staff typically handle smaller isolated repairs of significantly damaged streets, sidewalks, and alleys. Utilizing City crews for these areas is more cost-effective than a third party due to costs of mobilization and economy of scale. Next, the Department utilizes Requirement Projects that are location-based work orders to address moderate sized areas needing repair. City staff create work orders for these areas with higher quantities of concrete repair and traffic control than City crews can address. Staff also inspect third-party construction activities to ensure the work is performed to City specifications. Finally, larger areas of repair, such as this project, are bid as separate contracts for neighborhood zone rehabilitation projects that cover several miles of infrastructure.
Public Works staff evaluate both the effectiveness of our street projects and feasibility to do more work with Public Works staff. At this time, sufficient yard/storage space, staff space, and equipment are not available for City staff to perform larger pavement rehabilitation projects, such as this neighborhood zone rehabilitation project, and still address isolated areas for repair that cost the city more for private contractors to complete.
If this project is not awarded, the areas located inside the project limits of Residential Repair Zone P3 South Phase 2 will not be repaired. This will result in elevated maintenance and replacement costs in the future. In addition, existing ADA compliance issues will not be repaired, leaving pedestrian facilities in an unsafe condition.
Engineer's estimate for this project is $1,100,000.
