Project Description. This curb and gutter project includes a number of City residential and collector streets. The street curb and gutter sections to be removed and replaced are determined to be in generally poor condition and the resulting poor drainage and stabilization characteristics have resulted in progressed deterioration of the adjacent street pavement. An effective curb and gutter removal and replacement program will reestablish desired drainage characteristics to a street, provide edge of pavement structural support, and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Project History. The city’s annual pavement maintenance program was reviewed and approved by City Commission on January 27, 2009. Of the various program projects, the 2009 Crack Sealing Program starts on March 30, 2009, the 2009 Overlay Program Phase 1 will bid on April 7, 2009, W 9th St Tennessee to Iowa Sales Tax Program Rehabilitation Project, KLINK Overlay of W 23rd St from Iowa to Kentucky Ct, 2009 Overlay Program Phases 2 and 3, and the 2009 Microsurfacing Program are also planned for this construction season as presented at the January 27, 2009 City Commission Meeting.
Project Details. The project includes the removal and replacement of curb and gutter sections, asphalt patching adjacent to the new curb, and some reinforced concrete intersections to improve drainage on existing City streets (see attached location map).
Project Funding. The pavement maintenance program is funded from several sources including the general fund, gas tax funds, sales tax and sales tax reserve, and capital improvement reserve accounts. This contract was included in the 2009 Street Maintenance Program for curb repair budgeted at $550,000.00 to be paid from the general and gas tax funds.
Action Request: Approve bid from LRM Industries, Inc. for the 2009 Curb and Gutter Replacement Program, Project No. PW0905, in the amount of $439,394.55 plus an additional $25,000 contingency for asphalt index and sprinkler system repair for a total project cost of $464,394.55, provided the contractor can meet the terms established in the contract documents.
