Summary

Council approved $900,000 for Thompson Way, $135,000 for Sheridan Street and $210,000 for Sherman Street, awarded the construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder Doug Vercamp General Engineering, and authorized related testing and inspection agreements and change order authority.

The Placerville City Council voted April 28 to approve budget appropriations and award construction contracts for three street repaving projects. Engineering staff recommended appropriation of $900,000 for the Thompson Way repaving project, $135,000 for the Sheridan Street project and $210,000 for the Sherman Street project, and recommended awarding the construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Doug Vercamp General Engineering.

Miss Savage, presenting for the engineering department, said the projects include pavement rehabilitation as well as repair and replacement of sewer mains, water system maintenance and storm drain repairs. Staff noted phase 1 (underground utilities) was completed in 2025 and that phase 2 will focus on pavement rehabilitation with a construction target before the start of the new school year in August. "After performing a comprehensive bid analysis, staff is recommending the approval of a construction contract to the lowest responsive bidder, Doug Vercamp General Engineering," Savage said, and listed bid amounts from the April 9 public bid opening; the low bid was $799,533.60.

Councilmember Sue Rodman (public comment) said the Measure H/L committee supported the projects and the phasing to avoid school impacts. A council member moved to adopt staff recommendation and another seconded; a roll-call vote recorded ayes from councilmembers present and the motion passed.

The council also authorized an agreement for materials testing with Youngdell Consulting Group Inc., a task order for construction inspection with Dewberry Engineers Inc., and granted the city manager change order authority up to $25,000 per change order.
