~ '7 D(.,
FROM:
PROJECT ENGINEER
DATE: MARCH 3,2006
SUBJECT: 2006 STREET RESURFACING CONTRACT AWARD - $2,244,000.00
Background
This year's project represents the tenth year of the accelerated street improvement program and
includes the resurfacing of approximately 5.2 miles of Village streets. Again this year we also
combined both the MFT funded program and the Village Street Improvement funded program
into one project in order to secure an early and more favorable bid.
Bids Results
A notice to bidders was published in a local newspaper. Since this project uses MFT funds it
was also published in the mOT construction bulletin.
On February 27th, at 10:00 A.M. sealed bids for the 2006 Street Resurfacing Program were
publicly opened and read aloud.
Seven general contractors picked up the bid documents and two contractors submitted bids. The
bids ranged from a low of $2,067,385.90 by Arrow Road Construction Company to a high of
$2,579,716.10 by Johnson Paving Company. The Engineer's estimate for the project is
$2,089,000.00.
Below is a summary of the bids.

2006 STREET RESURFACING CONTRACT AWARD
FEBRUARY 28, 2006
Discussion
All bidders submitted mOT Local Agency Bid Bonds in the amount of 5% oftheir total bids as
required by the Bid Documents. All bids were checked for accuracy. All bidders correctly
signed their bids and bid bonds. The low bidder Arrow Road Construction Co. has previously
completed street improvements for the Village including the 2004 and 2005 Street Resurfacing
Programs and their work was acceptable.
The Village budget limit for this project is $2,244,000.00. Since the low bid ($2,067,385.90) is
less than the amount budgeted, I recommend that we take advantage of the lower unit prices and
add additional streets up to the budget limit.
Recommendation
I recommend that the low bidder, Arrow Road Construction Co. be awarded the contract for the
2006 Street Resurfacing Program in the amount up to the full budget figure of $2,244,000.00.
There are sufficient funds in the 2006 Budget to cover this proposed contract.

I concur with the above recommendation.
