Board awards $1.69 million street-reconstruction contract for Hopewell West and south Rogers
Summary
The Board of Public Works approved a $1,687,318.85 contract to Kryder and Kryder to rebuild Rogers Street (First–Second) and one block of Jackson Street, including new stormwater infrastructure, sidewalks, a multiuse path and a protected bike lane; a 30-day First Street closure and lane restrictions were approved as part of the contract.
The Board of Public Works on July 1 approved a $1,687,318.85 low bid from Kryder and Kryder to reconstruct Rogers Street between First and Second streets and one block of South Jackson Street, including new stormwater infrastructure, sidewalks, a multiuse path and a protected bike lane.
The contract covers lane restrictions on Rogers Street and a 30-day closure of First Street just west of Rogers; the board approved the maintenance-of-traffic plan that routes westbound traffic via South Euclid Avenue and eastbound traffic down Fairview to West Wylie Street. The engineer presenting the project said the city will coordinate closely with overlapping detours for the convention center project and other contractors in the area.
Zach Rogers, city engineering, told the board the bids were opened June 30 and that Kryder and Kryder was the lowest responsible bidder at $1,687,318.85. "There will be some lane restrictions on Rogers Street between First and Second, and there will be a 30 day closure on First Street just west of Rogers Street," he said.
Board members asked for confirmation that the motion included approval of the specified closures; staff replied that it did. The project packet included a maintenance-of-traffic plan attached to the agenda. The board voted in favor of awarding the contract; roll call recorded Carone and Board President Kyla Cox Deckard voting Aye and the motion passed.
Work is expected to require close coordination with the convention center project and other contractors in downtown areas to minimize detour conflicts. The engineering presentation noted nearby sidewalk and curb sections in need of repair and that the project includes protected bike-lane facilities and a multiuse path to improve nonmotorized connectivity.
The board took no additional amendments to the contract during the meeting.
