Consider a resolution approving a construction contract with TexasBIT (Texas Materials Group) of Irving, Texas, relating to the 2023 Annual Street Maintenance Project for the Public Works Department; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents relating thereto on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.
Action Requested:
Approve a construction contract with TexasBIT (Texas Materials Group) of Irving, Texas, in the amount of $3,372,128.95 and authorizing the City Manager to execute all related documents on behalf of the City of Keller, Texas.
Background:
The City’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) contains an annual project to rehabilitate residential streets. To support the funding of these projects and street maintenance in general, voters approved a ¼ of one percent sales tax, and a Street Improvement Fund was established to receive the funds generated by the sales tax.
This project contains nine (9) asphalt streets which were selected using the Pavement Condition Index from the 2021 Pavement Management Analysis Report. The asphalt street work includes removing and replacing the pavement and base failure repairs. Also included are water service line replacements from the water main to the water meters, barrier free ramp replacements and some drive approach and curb and gutter replacements. This project is designed to address residential street repair conditions throughout the City.
On November 15, 2023, four (4) bids were received for the 2023 Annual Street Maintenance Project. Staff, with the assistance of engineering firm Wade Trim, evaluated the bids and references and recommends TexasBIT (Texas Materials Group) of Irving, Texas be awarded the contract in the amount of $3,372,128.95 with construction to be substantially complete within 210 calendar days.
Financial Impact:
Funding is included in the Streets Capital Improvements Fund with funding provided by the Street Maintenance and Water & Wastewater Utility Funds. If unforeseen circumstances are encountered which results in an overage of the project budget, further council action and a budget amendment may be required.
