Project Description.  This concrete pavement and curb and gutter repair project includes the collector street Inverness Dr from Bob Billings Parkway to Clinton Parkway.  The street curb and gutter and concrete pavement sections to be worked on are in poor condition with extensive concrete deterioration.  An effective curb and gutter and concrete pavement repair program will reestablish desired drainage, structural, and ridability characteristics to a concrete street and reduces other long-term maintenance and rehabilitation costs.

 

Project History.  The city’s annual pavement maintenance program was reviewed and approved by City Commission on December 1, 2009.  Of the various program projects, the 2010 Crack Seal Program and 2010 Microsurfacing Program were awarded on February 9, 2010, the 2010 Overlay Program Phase 1 was awarded on March 23, 2010, the KLINK Overlay of E 23rd St from Haskell Ave to east City Limits was awarded on May 4, 2010, the 2010 Overlay Program Phase 2 was awarded on June 22, 2010, and all of which are currently active projects.  Multiple other street locations, to be completed by City Street Maintenance Staff, are also planned for this construction season.

 

Project Details.  The project includes the removal and replacement of curb and gutter sections and concrete full depth pavement patch repairs to restore structural capacity, proper drainage, and ride quality to the City street.

 

Project Funding.  The pavement maintenance program is funded from several sources including the general fund, motor fuels tax, sales tax and sales tax reserve, and capital improvement reserve accounts.  This contract was included in the 2010 Pavement Maintenance Program for concrete street rehabilitation to be paid from the stormwater and CIP reserve funds.

 

Action Request.  Approve bid from R.D. Johnson Excavating Co. for the 2010 Concrete Rehabilitation Program - Project No. PW1014 in the amount of $273,520.00 provided the contractor can meet the terms established in the contract documents.
