SUBJECT:
Bid Results on the South Sligo Street Reconstruction Project (PW-22-02-S).
BACKGROUND
South Sligo Street, from the southern entrance of Walmart to 7th Street, will be reconstructed this summer. The first development of the South Sligo was done in 2005 and, at that time, was not designed for heavy traffic. A one inch (1") overlay was put down in 2008 to help maintain the road. In 2014-15 the new Montezuma-Cortez High School was built on South Sligo. This marked a high use of heavy trucking during construction and is utilized for the school bus traffic. It is also a major through way for traffic that utilizes 7th Street from the west side of town. The current road has heavy transverse cracking, alligator-type cracking, and potholes, and has been heavily patched in many places. This year's project consists of excavating South Sligo down to subgrade, reconditioning and placing back 11" of CDOT Class 6, and placing a 5" asphalt mat (2" over 3").
This will provide an 18K (18,000lb) ESAL (Equivalent Single Axle Load Differential), which will be sufficient for current and projected future traffic. A Concrete Bustang Outrider (CDOT), bus pad and ADA will be built, several new ADA Ramps for safe crossing of Sligo will be installed, along with general concrete repairs. The bids include compensation for all materials, labor, equipment, and other necessary items to complete the work described in the contract documents.
ISSUES
The Public Works Department prepared the bid plans and specifications for this project. A pre-bid meeting and walkthrough of the project was conducted on April 6th with all interested prospective bidders. Bids were opened on April 18, 2022, with three bids received, as shown below. All bidders submitted the mandatory 5% bid guaranty with their bid.
