CONTRACT
Public Works
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council award the contract to Pavement Engineering Inc. for engineering design services for
the 2005-06 Annual Overlay and Slurry Seal Programs, Project Nos. M0046 and M0049, in the
amount of $135,465.00, and authorize a $19,535.00 contingency expenditure; and authorize the
City Manager or designee to execute all documents, subject to City Attorney approval.
BACKGROUND
The Annual Overlay and Slurry Seal Programs are an integral part of the City's pavement
management program and operate on a five-year to seven-year cycle. Each year, streets are
studied to identify the need for overlay or slung. Streets will be selected using the City Pavement
Index Map, street surveys, and input from the public.
The Annual Overlay and Slurry Seal Programs improve various streets Citywide by resurfacing
and sealing surface cracks to enhance skid resistant properties, and increase pavement life. This
results in a smoother ride for traffic, an enhanced appearance of the area, and extends the
economic life of the roadway.
Staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the subject project. Included in the RFP was
the requirement to design the necessary improvements and evaluate streets in need of
improvement. The RFP was sent to firms on the City's Design Consultants List. The two firms
who submitted proposals were Pavement Engineering of San Luis Obispo and MNS Engineers,
Inc. of Santa Barbara. Based on technical qualifications and methodology for the project,
Pavement Engineering Inc. is the recommended firm.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
