Clive council awards Alys's Road Phase 1B and multiple pavement contracts; votes unanimous
Summary
The Clive City Council unanimously approved plans and awarded several construction contracts on Feb. 12, including a low-bid award for Alys's Road Reconstruction Phase 1B (Mainline Construction) and two residential pavement projects; staff noted bid familiarity with previous contractors and recommended awards.
At its Feb. 12 meeting the Clive City Council approved plans and awarded multiple road and pavement contracts, including the Alys's Road Reconstruction Project Phase 1B and two residential pavement-rehabilitation projects.
Alys's Road Phase 1B: Staff reported five bids and recommended Mainline Construction as the low bidder. Council closed the public hearing, approved plans and specifications, received the bids and passed a resolution awarding the contract to Mainline by a unanimous recorded vote. The bid amount reported in the meeting record was transcribed as "2,611,78.91"; staff explained Mainline has worked previously in the area and recommended awarding the Phase 1B prime contract to them.
Residential pavement projects: Council received bids and approved two residential street-rehab contracts. One contract (full-depth concrete patching north of Hickman in the 152nd Street area) was awarded to the low bidder listed as "Concrete Company" for $479,333.50; the council approved plans and awarded the contract by unanimous vote. A separate asphalt-overlay residential contract was awarded to De Mo Asphalt by unanimous vote; the meeting transcript lists the award amount in a format shown as "$92,98328" which appears to be a formatting error in the record.
