REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Department Approval: 1�Ianager Reviewed: <br />l � <br />Item Description: Award 2001 Material Bids <br />DATE: OS/16/O1 <br />ITEM: c-2 <br />Agenda Section: <br />Consent <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 />Policy Objectives: Each year city staffuses the competitive bid process to secure maintenance <br />materials that fall within budget guidelines. This allows maintenance programs to be completed as <br />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 within the budgeted material costs projected for 200 1. <br />Discussion of bids: Bids were opened on May 16, 200L Most materials were bid higher than <br />2000. The greatest increases were reflected in aggregates. The substantial increase is due to <br />higher fuel prices that affect materials that are delivered. FA-1 sand for snow and ice control will <br />be bid at a later date. The following is a comparison of the bids received and the 2000 price <br />comparison. <br />1:31�7�J�1:� <br />Class 5 crushed limestone <br />Bryan Rock Products <br />Aggregate Industries <br />2000 price/del $8.1 7/ton <br />FA-2 Class A A��re�ate <br />Meridian Aggregate <br />Midwest Asphalt <br />Dresser Traprock <br />2000 price/del $16.65/ton <br />�T PRICE �T PRICE <br />WII,L/CALL DELIVERED <br />$ 5.50 <br />6.67 <br />$18.45 <br />19.50 <br />16.70 <br />$8.70 <br />9.67 <br />$18.45 <br />20.00 <br />21.55 <br />
