City to award $6.725 million paving contract for Oyo Road and Southeastern Parkway
Loading...
Summary
Engineering recommended awarding the Oyo Road/Southeastern Parkway paving contract to E and B Paving at $6,725,304; $2.9 million is expected from the MPO and the city share is about $3,773,866; construction is expected to start after notice to proceed in May with completion by November.
City engineering staff asked the governing body to award a paving contract for Oyo Road and Southeastern Parkway to the lowest responsive bidder, E and B Paving, at a bid of $6,725,304.
Tammy (Tim) Houston, an engineering department representative, said the project came in slightly over budget but that the city has coordinated with the controller's office to identify funds to cover the overage. “We are receiving 2,900,000 from the MPO so the city would need to be responsible for $3,773,866,” the engineering representative said, and staff said they will pursue value‑engineering to limit cost growth during construction.
Staff described the work as including conversion of some concrete sections to asphalt, modifications to a roundabout near 136th Street and Olivia, and installation of a new signal at a hospital access. The city plans to give the contractor notice to proceed soon so construction can begin in May and finish by November, with measures to keep most of the corridor open during work.
Councilmembers moved and seconded the award; the governing body approved the contract by voice vote.
The contract award documents and funding plan will be finalized by staff with the controller's office; staff said they expect to monitor costs during construction and bring change orders as needed if costs exceed the approved amount.
