Department Approval: <br />L <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />1��oa�r R�}�i�w�d- <br />�� � <br />U <br />Item Description: Award 2004 Street Maintenance Material Bids <br />DATE: 03/29/04 <br />ITEM: 3.f <br />Agenda Section: <br />Coaaest <br />Background: Annually, the Street Department receives bids for materials, which are used for <br />street maintenance operations. Materials bid include aggregate for seal coating, bituminous <br />materials for road repair, asphalt emulsion for seal coating, and Class 5 gravel for base repair. <br />Policy Objectives: Each year city staff uses the competitive bid process to secure maintenance <br />materials that fall within budget guidelines. This allows maintenance programs to be completed <br />as planned with quality materials at the lowest possible cost to the city. <br />Financial Implications: Street maintenance materials are financed out of the General Fund. <br />The combined bids received are within the budgeted estimates. Maintenance programs will need <br />to be reduced slightly to stay within budgeted amounts due to a reduction in this line item in the <br />2004 budget process. <br />Discussion of bids: Bids were received and opened on March 15,2004. Some items increased <br />in price while others decreased. These materials are impacted by the fluctuation in the oil <br />markets. With the exception of asphalt, materials are typically delivered to the Public Works <br />Department. The attached bid tabulation summarizes all bids received and shows the comparison <br />with 2003 prices. <br />C �� : <br />Class 5 crushed limestone <br />Aggregate Industries <br />Bryan Rock <br />2003 pric�'�cl ��, ��I�n + tax <br />FA-2 Class A A�gre�ate <br />Martin Marietta Aggregate <br />Midwest Asphalt <br />Dresser Traprock <br />2003 pricc��iel S� �.�B�T�n <br />L7NIT PRICE <br />DELIVERED <br />� ���� <br />���� <br />S I 8,9;� <br />�L.f�l <br />��,�� <br />
