REVIEW: Agenda Request Form - Revised 09/02 CM REVIEW: Document Name: ~ng2-2AR MEMORANDUM FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF ENGINEERING To~ From: Date: RE: Mayor and City Council Kenneth M. Griffm, P.E., Dir. of Engineering/Public Works November 12, 2002 Consider approval of awarding Bid/Contract #Q-0902-03 to Tiseo Paving Company in the amount of $802,394.92 for the construction of Ruby Road as provided for in CIP funds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign. On November 1, 2002 the City of Coppell received and opened eleven bids for the construction of Ruby Road. This project is contained between Coppell Road and the newly constructed portion of Freeport Parkway. The length of the project is approximately 2600 linear feet. The construction of this project will straighten out the sharp curve on the west end of Ruby Road. Upon completion, the road itself will be generally straight from Coppell Road to Freeport Parkway. Previously, City Council approved an agenda item to allow construction of the project in three phases. Also, Council approved an agreement with Duke Realty Services Limited Parmership for the City to sell the abandoned old Ruby Road right-of-way to Duke Realty Services Limited Partnership in the amount $253,000. That money will be utilized to offset a portion of the construction cost. As this project was going out to bid, the engineer for Duke Realty approached the City about including an alternate bid in the bidding process. The alternate bid is to enlarge the drainage system in Ruby Road and to provide for several drainage stubouts to the south on the property where the Container Store will be constructed. Also, the alternate bid includes several subouts for fire hydrants and water line connections. During discussions with representatives from Duke Realty, it has been made very clear that Duke Realty is responsible financially for the difference between the base bid (including Addendum's 1, 2 & 3) and the alternate bid which is self- contained within Addendum 4. That difference is $55,685.77. Representatives for Duke Realty have indicated that they are in concurrence with funding the difference between the alternate bid and the base bid. Staff recommends awarding the alternate bid for the construction of Ruby Road to Tiseo Paving Company in the amount of $802,394.92, with Duke Realty participating in an amount of $55,685.77. We continue to work with Duke Realty on the financial aspects of the payment of the difference between the base bid and the alternate bid. If for some reason those discussions cannot be finalized, then we will proceed with just the construction of the base bid. However, we are at this time seeking approval to award the alternate bid, as it will have no additional financial impact to the City. Staff will be available to answer questions at the Council meeting. "CITY OF COPPELL ENGINEERING - EXCELLENCE BY DESIGN"
