TO: DAN BLANKENSHIP, CITY ADMINISTRATOR
FROM: DALE A. WICK, ASSISTANT CITY ENGINEER
SUBJECT: AWARD OF BID F.Y. '80-'81 SLURRY SEAL PROGRAM
Bids for the subject project were opened on September 5,1980 at ll:O0 A.M.
and were received as ~ollows:
CONTRACTOR BUSINESS LOCATION BID
Ted R. Jenkins Long Beach, CA
Roy Allan, Slurry Seal Inc. Laguna Niguel, CA
$58,189.28
$65,298.61
The low bid is $77,637.27 below the Engineering estimate of $135,826.55
or 57% low. This is the first time that the City has put out to bid a
project consisting of Slurry Seal only. On past Slurry Seal Projects
the work was done in conjunction with paving work and we paid from $0.05
to $0.07 per square foot for Slurry Seal apparently because the General
or Paving Contractor was adding an overhead factor to his subcontractors
(The Slurry Seal Contractor's) bid.
There is presently $142,000.00 budgeted for the F.Y. '80-'81 Slurry Seal
Program. Since we were unsure of how the bids would come in, the specifi-
cations were set up,to permit us to add work to the contract to utilize
all of the budgeted funds. It is recommended that additional work be added
to increase the contract amount to $115,000.00 with the remaining $27,000.00
being utilized to restore traffic stripping. This would be an increase of
approximately 95% in contract work and should enable us to complete all of
the streets in the City which need a Slurry Seal at this time. Please
keep in mind that there are still streets remaining which have deteriorated
past the point where a Slurry Seat will do any good. These streets either
need complete reconstruction or a heater re-mix AC overlay treatment in
the future.
Attached for the City Council's information is a tabulation of all bids
received. The low bidder specializes in Slurry Seal work and does much
of the Slurry Seal for the County of Orange.
