<br />D. Sealcoating Bids
<br />
<br />Mr, Brown explained that bids were received and opened for the 1999 Seal Coating Project on
<br />July 21, 1999, One bid was received from Allied Blacktop in the amount of$25,970, The bid
<br />included a 10 percent bond as required by the Project Manual and was verified,
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />Mr, Brown indicated that one issue with this bid was that the Contractor did not include a bid
<br />price for slurry seal coating the park trails, indicating that a subcontractor was not available to
<br />perform the work. Slurry seal coating in the metro area is predominately accomplished by a
<br />contractor located in Madison Wisconsin, BR W contacted this contractor and they indicated that
<br />they are too busy to do work in the Twin Cities this year on projects with small scopes such as
<br />that included in the trail portion of the project. Therefore, Allied Blacktop did not include a bid
<br />for this work,
<br />
<br />The project includes seal coating of Valentine Lake Road which was reconstructed in 1995 and
<br />received a final bituminous wear course in 1996. The pavement markings on Valentine Lake
<br />Road are a pre-formed type, manufactured by 3M and designed to last longer than standard
<br />painted or epoxy tape markings, Seal coating of this street would cover all of the existing
<br />markings before the end of their useful life, In order to preserve the markings, they must be
<br />covered with tape prior to the seal coating operation, Included in the bid were provisions to
<br />preserve a single dashed yellow centerline, stop bars and turn lanes. The contract bid amount for
<br />this work was $1,550, The City Engineer estimates that the cost to protect all of the existing
<br />markings would be approximately $10,000, This was not included in the contract, as this would
<br />cost almost as much as the sealcoating, which was approximately $12,000,
<br />
<br />The Contractor had indicated a willingness to protect all of the existing markings at a cost of
<br />approximately $8,900, If the City Public Works Department was to contribute some labor in the
<br />removal of the tape, the cost for this work would be reduced approximately $1,700, Therefore
<br />there would be an approximate $7,200 expense to protect the entire street markings on Lake
<br />Valentine Road, plus City staff time,
<br />
<br />.
