Transportation committee advances $163,820 concrete‑repair contract after single bid; staff to report on bidder participation
Summary
Committee reviewed Resolution 2024‑R46 awarding a $163,820.30 contract to Joseph A. Jeffreys Co. for 2024 miscellaneous concrete repairs (slabs and curb). The base bid came in below the engineer estimate; staff noted only one bidder and said timing likely affected local participation.
The Transportation, Connectivity and Stormwater Committee reviewed Resolution 2024‑R46 on Aug. 13 to award a contract to Joseph A. Jeffreys Co. Inc. for the 2024 miscellaneous concrete repairs program.
Committee materials recorded a base bid of $163,820.30, which staff said came in below the engineer's estimate of $166,104.13. The scope includes replacing approximately 849 square yards of concrete and 180.5 feet of curb throughout the city.
Committee members questioned why only one bid was received; staff suggested timing and market workload were likely factors as many firms are booked into late summer and fall. The committee asked staff to report on bidder participation and local outreach; the resolution is on second reading and staff will request time for passage at the regular meeting.
Ending: Staff will follow up on procurement participation and return with any further details when the city considers final passage of R46.
