The motion carried (5-0). <br /> <br />B. Order Assessment Hearings for Venus/Crystal Area PMP and for the <br />Grant/Noble/Lake Lane Area PMP <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson explained as per Council direction, bids were opened on <br />Thursday, March 19, 2015 for both 2015 Pavement Management Program (PMP) projects: <br />Venus/Crystal Neighborhood and Grant/Noble/Lake Lane Neighborhood. There were a total of 8 <br />bids received. The following list provides the bidder’s name and their total bid. <br /> <br /> Valley Paving, Inc. $3,911,980.18 <br /> Astech Corporation $4,236,436.72 <br /> Palda & Sons, Inc. $4,309,867.43 <br /> Park Construction Co. $4,339,078.97 <br /> Northwest Asphalt, Inc. $4,536,575.67 <br /> T.A. Schifsky & Sons, Inc. $4,758,548.31 <br /> Redstone Construction $4,972,862.29 <br /> Meyer Contracting, Inc. $5,323,532.06 <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated the low bid of $3,911,980.18 received from Valley <br />Paving Inc. compares favorably with construction cost estimates from both of the Feasibility <br />Reports which is a total of $4,181,300. Further analysis of the low bid; adding overhead <br />according to the City’s Assessment Policy and dividing it into the cost for the two specific <br />neighborhoods results in the following total project costs: <br /> <br /> $3,719,403.67 Total Project Cost for the Venus/Crystal Neighborhood <br /> $1,493,126.36 Total Project Cost for the Grant/Noble/Lake Lane Neighborhood <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson reported each of these total project costs were then analyzed <br />for the assessable cost which as described in the City’s Assessment Policy is half of the street <br />project cost. The results of this analysis is as follows: <br /> <br /> Venus/Crystal Neighborhood Assessment Rate of $8,614.27 per unit as compared to the <br />Feasibility Report estimate of $11,450. <br /> Grant/Noble/Lake Lane Neighborhood Assessment Rate of $5,563.07 per unit as <br />compared to the Feasibility Report estimate of $6,600. <br /> <br />Assistant City Engineer Anderson indicated in order to move both of these projects forward, it <br />would be appropriate for the Council to consider adopting Resolution 2015-015 which declares <br />the Cost to be Assessed and Orders the Preparation of the Assessment Roll. The second, <br />Resolution 2015-016 Sets the Date for the Assessment Hearing as April 27, 2015 for the <br />Venus/Crystal Neighborhood. The next two Resolutions do the same for the Grant/Noble/Lake
