Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the City of San Luis purchasing slurry seal application services from American Pavement Preservation for the application of type 2 slurry seal as part of the Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Pavement Preservation Project.  (Eulogio Vera, Director of Public Works)

In continuance of the Pavement Preservation Program, staff recommends that the city accepts services offered by American Pavement Preservation, for a total amount not to exceed $235,000.00.  The city would piggyback on a contract that the City of Yuma has in place with American Pavement Preservation, Slurry Seal Service, BID #2016-0000024.  The City of Yuma completed the full bidding process for slurry services in 2015 for a 5-year contract, which allows for the cooperative use of the contract.  We will comply with state cooperative purchasing.

This request also complies with the San Luis City Code-Purchasing Section, 3.05.090, Cooperative Purchasing. The justification for Cooperative Purchasing under San Luis Purchasing Code is that another entity (in this case, the City of Yuma) went out to bid so duplicating the expense of the bidding process is not cost-effective where the results will be the same cost Yuma already got under its bid.
