Adopt Resolution #15-08-211 Awarding a Contract for Additional Spray Patching on City Streets

The purpose of this case is to accept the low quote  for spray patching on 15 separate projects in various neighborhoods, throughout the city.  Spray patching has been used over the last two years on city streets, and has proven more effective on shallow surface raveling than conventional methods of patching.  Staff solicited and received two quotes for this work, one from Pavement Resources Inc and the other from RCM Specialties Inc.  Both contractors have performed this type of work  satisfactorily for the city in recent months and their quotes are attached to this case.

The general fund budget includes $500,000.00 annually for street maintenance projects.  At the July 14th city council meeting, the council adopted resolution #15-07-173 awarding the bid for program division A, seal coat improvements to Pearson Bros in the amount of $255,496.00.  Because of the favorable bid prices received, surplus funds are available within the budgeted amount  to perform other maintenance projects.  These projects include such work as crack filling, seal coating, patching, etc... The council requested that surplus funds be used to perform additional necessary maintenance work on the City road system this year if possible, instead of rolling the funds over to next year and delaying work.
