REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Department ApprovaL• Manager Reviewed: <br />�' C�- <br />�� <br />Item Description: 2000 Material Bids <br />DATE: OS/22/00 <br />ITEM: F-5 <br />Agenda Section: <br />Reports/Recommendations <br />Background: Each year the Street Department receives bids for materials, which are used as <br />part of the maintenance operation. They include FA-1 sand for ice control, FA-2 aggregate for <br />seal coating, bituminous materials for road repair, asphalt emulsion for seal coating, and Class 5 <br />gravel for base repair. <br />Poticy 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. The <br />combined bids received are higher than the budgeted material costs proj ected for 2000. <br />Discussion of bids: Bids were opened on May 17, 2000. All materials were bid higher than <br />1999. The greatest increases were reflected in seal coat oil and bituminous materials. The <br />substantial increase is due to higher crude prices in the oil markets, as well as materials that are <br />delivered due to trucking prices which rise as pump price for diesel fuel increases. FA-1 sand for <br />snow and ice control will be bid at a later date. The following is a comparison of the bids <br />received and the 1999 price comparison. <br />BIDDER <br />Class 5 crushed limestone <br />Camas <br />Bryan Rock Products <br />1999 price/del $7.85/ton <br />FA-2 Class A Att�re�ate <br />Meridian Aggregate <br />Midwest Asphalt <br />DresserTraprock <br />1999 price/del $15.75/ton <br />L7NIT PRICE <br />WILL/CALL <br />$ 5.25 <br />5.67 <br />$10.40 <br />17.00 <br />16.70 <br />L7NIT PRICE <br />DELIVERED <br />$8.17 <br />8.82 <br />$16.65 <br />19.80 <br />21.45 <br />
