M0046 AND M0049 - AWARD DESIGN 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. FISCAL IMPACT Funds to cover the design and construction costs of the 2005-06 Overlay Program and the 2005-06 Slurry Seal Program have been respectively appropriated as follows: $5,000,000.00 in Account M0046001-8001, and $2,000,000.00 in Account M0046205-8001; and $500,000.00 in Account M0049001-8001.
