Public Works Director Maurer stated that the 2013 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains items for street maintenance and trail maintenance. Both of these items are funded from the PIR fund. Staff requested quotes from four contractors for a combination of mill and patch street areas that show stripping and trail removal and repaving areas that are severely distressed. Of the four quotes requested, only one quote was received, and that quote was from North Metro Asphalt and Contracting. The quote includes 1800 square yards of street mill and patch and 900 square yards of trail removal and repaving for a total of$58,842. Public Works Director Maurer reviewed the location of the proposed work in further detail. Staff requested the flexibility to spend the remaining balance in the CIP budget given the fact the quote came in lower than anticipated and recommended that the Council authorize staff to enter into a contract with North Metro Asphalt and Contracting for the street and trail maintenance. Mayor Grant commented that he pulled this item to receive further information from staff regarding where the proposed work would be completed in the City. He is pleased that the quote came in lower than anticipated. He questioned if the Council wanted to take advantage of the lower bid prices and complete additional maintenance projects in 2013. Councilmember Holden suggested that this issue could be discussed further at an upcoming budget meeting. Public Works Director Maurer stated that the lower bid amount would assist the City in working ahead on the 2014 projects. Councilmember Holden is pleased that the asphalt rates came in below the estimate as this could be beneficial to the City in completing necessary street projects.
