Consider approval of awarding Bid/Contract # Q-0405~03 to JRJ Paving, L.P.,
for the construction of the MacArthur Boulevard Widening Project, from
Bethel School Rd. to Belt Line Rd., in an amount of $319,988.85, as provided
for in CIP funds; and authorizing the City Manager to sign.
On April 26, 2005 the City of Coppell received and opened three bids for the construction of the
MacArthur Boulevard Widening project. This project consists of the construction of a third
southbound lane from Bethel School Road to a point approximately 430 feet north of Belt Line
Road. This point corresponds to the recently completed Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality
(CMAQ) project constructed by Dallas County in conjunction with TxDOT. See the attached
exhibit for additional information on the location of the project.
In 1997, City of Coppell staff began design work on a project to widen MacArthur Blvd. from
Bethel School Rd. to Belt Line Rd. Once the CMAQ intersection improvements were completed
by Dallas County, city staff finished the design of the widening and we are now ready to proceed
with construction.
In addition to the widening we have included the brick paver replacement at the intersection of
Riverchase Drive and MacArthur Boulevard in this project. Since this intersection is in the
middle of the widening project we did not want to have two different contractors trying to work
in the same area.
The low bidder on the project was JRJ Paving, L.P., of Denton, Texas, with a bid amount of
$319,988.85. This bid was for 'Alternate A' which includes stamped concrete to replace the
brick pavers as opposed to 'Alternate B' which was for stamped asphalt. The stamped concrete
was a lower priced option under this bid, and there was no difference in the length of time bid for
the two alternates. This contractor has not performed work within the City of Coppell in the
recent past, however references were checked, and there was no indication that they would not
be able to complete the job.
The Engineering Department designed this project in-house, and our estimate of cost was
$320,854 for the construction. The bids ranged from the low bid of $319,988.85 to a high bid of
$364,936.
Staff recommends award of the contract for the construction of the MacArthur Boulevard
Widening project to JRJ Paving, L.P., in an amount of $319,988.85, with an estimated
completion time of 75 calendar days.
Staffwill be available to answer any questions at the Council
