Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the City of San Luis accepting slurry seal application services from American Pavement Preservation for application of Type 2 slurry seal as part of the 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 $160,000.00.  The city would piggyback on a contract the City of Yuma has with American Pavement Preservation, Slurry Seal Service, BID #2020-20000153.  The City of Yuma completed the full bidding process for slurry services in 2020 for a 5-year contract, which allows for the cooperative use of the contract.  We will comply with states' cooperative purchasing under A.R.S. § 41-2632(2). 

This request also complies with the San Luis Purchasing Code 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 result will likely be the same cost Yuma already got under its bid and is not likely to be lower. The city's purchasing agent agrees with the assessment that going out to bid is not likely to result in a lower price for the slurry seal material and application services.
