1�'�, Jy REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval Date: 06/29/2009 Item No.: 7 j City Manager Approval Item Description: Approve bid for replacement of Pavers on Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape BACKGROUND The Larpenteur Avenue Streetscape pavers between Lexington (next to Keys Cafe) and Fernwood Avenues (14,700 s.f.) have shown signs of deterioration the past few years. Installed in 1999-2000, these pavers are "Holland North Oak Concrete Pavers" from the Anchor Slock Company. A combination of outdoor exposure to the sun, salt, and freeze thaw cycles, have contributed to the premature deterioration and crumbling of the sidewalk. Several efforts to "spot" repair the bad areas by replacing deteriorated pavers with new pavers have worked to some extent in the past, much of the area is now showing significant deterioration. Staff has concerns about trip hazards that create significant liability issues due to the uneven nature of the sidewalk. Additional spot replacement of various crumbling sections has become cost prohibitive. Secause the deterioration has become so severe and extensive, the only cost effective solution at this time is paver replacement. Even though these pavers are 9-10 years old, Anchor Slock has agreed to warranty the pavers, at no costto Roseville. We propose to replace 14,700 square feet of deteriorating pavers from Lexington Ave. to Fernwood Ave. The replacement pavers, "Holland North Oaks Plus Pavers", meet the latest ASTM Standard Test Method. This standard covers the resistance to freezing and thawing of solid concrete interlocking paver units. The Holland North Oaks Plus Pavers have a premium concentrated material at the top 3/8" of each paver that produces a richer color, distinctive fine texture and better wear-resistant surface. Secause Anchor block is providing all material at no cost, we obtained bids for the labor required for this paver replacement project. Discussion of Bids We obtained three bids for this project. The low bid, submitted by Glacial Ridge, came in at $63,651.00. In order to successfully complete this project, we need to add 5% to the total for tree grates, fill material, etc. not provided by Anchor Slock. The bids are as follows: Name Bid er s.f.
