Storm Drainage Improvements at Fire Station/Old Town Hall Water Facility
2018/19 Street Project: Whispering Pines Street and Drainage Improvements - Contract Award
A. Award for 2018/2019 streets, drainage and right-of-way improvements project (Attached NB-2A)
Town Engineer Pete Burkhimer updated the group on the continued upgrades to the Town’s infrastructure.
Plans, specifications and authorization to bid the 2018/2019 streets, drainage and right-of-way improvements project were approved by the Board of Commissioners at the March 12, 2018 meeting. The project includes paving, drainage, and related work for over 1.4 miles of streets generally in the Whispering Pines subdivision.
Bids were received on August 23, 2018 and have since been reviewed by Staff and Mr. Burkhimer, on behalf of American Engineering. He and Staff recommended award of the contract for the entire project to the lowest responsible bidder, RPC Contracting, Inc. Although the cost of the project came in higher than the original estimate, he and Staff recommended the entire project be awarded as any attempt to split or modify the project scope to meet the engineer’s estimate of $930,000 would likely increase overall final costs and delay completion.
The bid tabulation sheet was included with the packet materials for this item.
A breakdown of costs associated with this project follows:
| Base Bid | ||
2018/2019 Project – Whispering Pines | Streets & Drainage | Water | Total |
RPC Contracting, Inc. – Base Bid + Unit Price Items | $1,146,160 | $14,690 | $1,160,850 |
Contingency | $57,308 | $57,308 | |
Engineering | $64,000 | $5,200 | $69,200 |
Grand Totals | $1,267,468 | $19,890 | $1,287,358 |
This project will begin in the fall with substantial completion scheduled on Saturday, May 11, 2019.
Commissioner Hogan moved that the Board of Commissioners accept the bid from RPC Contracting, Inc., and authorize the 2018/2019 Whispering Pines area street, drainage and right-of-way improvements project, base bid including unit price items, to move forward by making the following motion - for the Board of Commissioners to:
- Approve the contract with RPC Contracting, Inc. for 2018/2019 street, drainage, and right-of-way improvements project, as presented above, in the amount of $1,160,850, and authorize its execution by the Town Manager;
- Approve the engineering services agreement with American Engineering in the total amount of $69,200 for construction oversight services;
- Approve a 5% not-to-exceed contingency for the streets and drainage portions of the project in the amount of $57,308;
- Authorize expenditure of $775,000 from the Street Capital Reserve Fund; and
- Approve budget amendment #7 to appropriate unassigned fund balance, which will complete the recommended 2018/2019 Street, Drainage and Right-of-Way Improvements Project – Whispering Pines.
Commissioner Windley provided a second, and the motion was approved by a unanimous, 4-0 vote.
