Title
Consider a memorandum/resolution authorizing a contract for HA5 high density mineral bond road surface treatments to Andale Construction in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 citywide in FY22.
Summary
DATE: April 05, 2022
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Jeffery Reynolds, Executive Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Authorize a contract with Andale Construction to apply HA5 High Density Mineral Bond road surface treatments in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 citywide in FY22.
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City reviews high density bond surface treatment methods every two (2) years to procure the needed service for various roadways throughout the city. The service allows a decrease of maintenance costs, extends pavement life, and leaves no loose aggregate, but allows for equal or better-quality surface on roadways. HA5 High Density Mineral Bond surface treatment is a material that is able to hold exceptionally high concentrations of fine aggregates and other components that resist deterioration. This can be used throughout the city to preserve asphalt on residential roadways and other asphalted locations. The city's current contract expires April 14, 2022.
Andale Construction is the sole source for the HA5 High Density Mineral Bond.
The contract for this award is a term of two (2) years with a possible escalation cost due to fluctuation of material in the second year, if agreed by both parties. The expected expenditure for FY22 is $700,000 but will not exceed $1,000,000 citywide in FY22. Due to the uncertainty with construction availability and pricing at this time, having flexibility to add additional work under this contract will allow staff to achieve the maximum amount of benefit within the current budget. In no case will the total surface treatment costs exceed the budgeted line-item amount.
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
1. Do not purchase or apply any High-Density Mineral Bond surface treatment
2. Authorize a contract with Andale Con...
