Overview: The purpose of this item is to recommend that the Council award a bid to Turner Asphalt GC, LLC for the road reconstruction of Country Club Road.
|
|
Recommendation(s): |
That the Council:
• adopt the attached resolution awarding a bid and authorizing the Town Manager to execute a contract with the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, Turner Asphalt GC, LLC, in an amount of $584,289; and
• authorize the Town Manager to approve change orders as necessary provided that the contract cost remains within the amount budgeted of $643,515; and
• authorize the Town Manager to extend the base bid contract twice at the same base unit price by a one-year contract addendum if mutually agreeable to both parties (Town of Chapel Hill and the Contractor). (Unit prices for the bid alternates can be resubmitted with each contract extension addendum.)
Key Issues:
• A third-party contractor conducts a Pavement Condition Survey every other year to evaluate the condition of Town-maintained paved streets. To prioritize and select streets for resurfacing, staff considers the pavement condition rating from the survey along with the use of the street for multiple modes of travel.
• Country Club Road was rated “Very Poor” in the Town’s most recent Pavement Condition Survey.
• As part of our review process, Public Works distributed an extended list of streets under consideration for resurfacing to internal staff including the Bicycle and Pedestrian Champion’s Team, and external entities including local utility companies.
• In September 2020, the Transportation and Connectivity Advisory Board (TCAB) received a tentative street resurfacing plan based on the annual operating budget allocation. The TCAB recommended that Town Council dedicate funds to improve the overall conditions of Town-maintained streets and sidewalks.
• The Town solicited formal bids for road reconstruction on the Town website on May 17, 2021 and received two bids on June 4, 2021. In accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-132, the Town re-advertised the project. On June 15, 2021, the Town received one bid.
• The Town determined Turner Asphalt, Inc. to be the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
• This bid included two alternates:
o Alternate #1 - Thermo-Plastic Pavement Markings. This bid alternate is included in the contract amount and will be covered by the project budget.
o Alternate #2 - Traffic Light Loop Installation. This bid alternate is included in the contract amount and will be covered by the project budget.
• The Town’s Emergency Management and Communications and Public Affairs Department will work with other Town staff to provide updates on street resurfacing and reconstruction projects in coordination with other major construction projects in Town. Information on project progress will be available to the public on the Getting Around Chapel Hill webpage <https://www.townofchapelhill.org/residents/transportation/getting-around-chapel-hill>.
• Town staff will provide letters giving at least two weeks’ notice of construction to residences and businesses on the streets scheduled for resurfacing. Traffic control signs will be placed on the road at least 48 hours and no more than 96 hours in advance of construction.
Fiscal Impact/Resources: This project will be funded from the FY22 operating budget for street resurfacing, and a $75,000 contribution from UNC.
