AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action on a Resolution Approving an Agreement with Durable Specialties, Inc., for the Construction of Traffic Signal and Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Improvements and Authorizing the City Manager to Execute the Agreement in an Amount Not to Exceed $1,350,513.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this item is to award a contract for the construction of the Traffic Signal and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Improvements Project. The locations for the project will be at the intersections of Belt Line Road & Addison Road, Belt Line Road & Beltway Drive, and Addison Road & Sojourn Drive.

The scope of work will include pedestrian-accessible ramps, crosswalks, median nose adjustments, landscape/irrigation improvements, and the replacement of traffic signal infrastructure.

The signals at these intersections are in the high-risk category based on the 2018 Asset Management Plan. The Town’s ADA Transition Plan also identified needed improvements at these intersections.

On December 10, 2019, City Council authorized a Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with Kimley-Horn for design services associated with Traffic Signal and ADA Improvements at these intersections due to their prior experience with Town's signal system and ADA Transition Plan. The design for this project was completed in June of 2022.

On June 7, 2022, the project was advertised on CIVCAST, and the advertisements were closed on June 30, 2022. A bid alternate for additional paver work and median nose adjustments was included in the bid. The Town received three bid proposals. Durable Specialties, Inc. (Durable) has been determined to be the lowest responsible bidder. Durable has done many projects with the Town and has always performed its duties well. Kimley-Horn has checked Durable‘s references and recommends they be awarded the contract for $1,350,513.00. This amount includes the bid alternate for the additional paver and median nose work.

The bid details can be found in the bid tabulation document. The breakdown of the three bids received is provided below:

Bidder/Vendor	Base Bid	Alternative Bid	Grand Total Bid
Durable Specialties, Inc.	$1,288,028.00	$62.485.00	$1,350,513.00
