Issue
An Ordinance approving the award of bid for Project No. 422-C for the SW 3rd Street Improvements from Pryor Road to Murray Road to Radmacher Brothers Excavating Company, Inc. in the amount of $4,638,738.10, and authorizing the City Manager to execute an agreement of the same.
Key Issues:
· The project will improve safety and capacity of this section of major arterial roadway.
· The improvements were recommended in the Thoroughfare Master Plan to address existing and long term traffic operational demands.
· The 3rd Street Improvements Project is being funded from the cost savings accrued in the 2007 CIP Sales Tax renewal fund.
· Award of this bid was delayed by necessary meeting cancellations due to the outbreak of COVID-19.
· Any further delays would requiring wintering the project. Wintering the project significantly extend disruptions to traffic along 3rd street which will increase the safety risks to the travel public as well as delays. The work extension would also significantly impact the residents along the road by extending restricted access, construction traffic, noise, and safety driving to and from. An extension also runs the risk of potential delay claims by contractor and causing the work to go beyond the expiration date of temporary construction easements (TCEs) obtained through condemnation. Those TCE would present the need to go back to court to extend the easements and pay additional for the extend use of TCEs
