RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council award a contract for SID 1418 Holiday Avenue Improvements to Knife River - Billings in the amount of $251,815.00.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
SID 1418 Holiday Avenue Improvements consists of approximately 340 linear feet of street improvements, including installation of new curb and gutter, boulevard sidewalk on both sides of Holiday Avenue, drive approaches and driveways, new asphalt pavement, and storm drain improvements on Holiday Avenue between Weil Street and Songbird Drive.
This section of Holiday Avenue is currently a gravel street with storm runoff ponding issues. Holiday Avenue provides access to the Weil Subdivision and Holiday Business Park Subdivision from the east. Currently, Weil Subdivison and Holiday Business Park Subdivision commuters use Mullowney Lane as the main access. The City plans to improve Mullowney Lane during FY 2023, which will limit access to these subdivisions. The Holiday Avenue Improvements project will be completed by May 2022, and will provide a secondary access route for those local businesses and residents.
The resolution of intent to create SID 1418 was approved by City Council during the May 24, 2021 council meeting. The resolution ordering improvements for SID 1418 was approved by City Council during the June 14, 2021 council meeting. The project was advertised on May 28, June 4, and June 11, 2021 in the Yellowstone County News and on the City's website. Bids were opened on June 15, 2021. Three (3) bids were received. Knife River - Billings submitted the lowest responsible bid.
