Subject:
Accept bids and award contract to Forterra Pipe and Precast d/b/a Rinker Materials for Materials Procurement for CSAH 78 Underpass Improvements at Zumbro Avenue.
Policy/Action Requested:
Adopt Resolution R2023-113 accepting bids and awarding contract to Forterra Pipe and Precast d/b/a Rinker Materials for Materials Procurement for CSAH 78 Underpass Improvements at Zumbro Avenue.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution R2023-113
Discussion:

The City's 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan programs the construction of a pedestrian underpass below County Road 78 at Zumbro Avenue. The proposed pedestrian improvements will provide a safe and convenient pedestrian crossing connecting the Windemere and Highview Park residential developments, existing trail system and future Highview Park neighborhood park in Jackson Township. Installation of the pedestrian underpass will occur in 2024 under a separate contract for construction. 

 

On September 26, 2023, the City received two bids for the materials procurement ranging from $250,000.00 submitted by Rinker Materials to $317,462.22 submitted by Oldcastle Infrastructure.  The engineer’s estimate for the materials procurement was $350,000. The fabrication and delivery of the precast concrete culverts is proposed in advance and separate from the construction contract to ensure materials are available when required by the contractor to minimize potential delays.

Budget Impact:
The cost of the materials procurement is $250,000. This work is budgeted in the 2024-2028 Capital Improvement Plan and will be funded through the Park Dedication Fund.
