City recommends bundled guardrail repair contract of roughly $220K–$270K
Summary
Staff recommended awarding a bundled set of guardrail replacement projects to attract bidders, with a not-to-exceed amount quoted at roughly $270,000 (speaker also referenced $220,000); funding would use additional LMEG funds authorized by the governor with no local match.
Staff told council that previous attempts to obtain bids for single guardrail repairs were unsuccessful because the work volume was too low to interest contractors, so the city combined several guardrail replacement projects into one bid package. Staff recommended council consider awarding the bundled contract for an amount not to exceed roughly $270,000; during the presentation staff also referenced a $220,000 figure while reviewing the budget.
Staff said the city intends to use additional LMEG funds recently authorized by Governor Kemp to pay for the work and that no local match is required. Council discussion noted it can be necessary to cluster small repairs to create sufficient work for bidders. The item will return for formal award consideration on the Tuesday meeting agenda.
