Re: Resolution 05-24 – Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the Franklin Street
Improvements Project (21-025-CIP)
Summary
On February 7, 2024, four (4) bids were received and publicly opened for the Franklin Street
Improvements Project (Project). The scope of work for this project includes the reconstruction of
Franklin Street with new curb and gutter, a consistent street width, storm sewer replacements,
and concrete sidewalks on both sides of Franklin Street from Waterford Drive to Sells Alley. Please
find the Project Location Map included below for the general work location.
This project was initially advertised for bids in May 2023, receiving only one bid of $1,816,210.15
on June 6, 2023, which the City rejected. The project was then advertised for bids a second time
in January 2024. The second project bid resulted in a reduction in the low bid of $751,583.95
compared to the one bid received in 2023.
This Project was originally approved as part of the 2023-2027 Capital Improvements Program
(CIP) and the funds budgeted in 2023 were $960,000 from account ST23C05 for the Franklin
Street Improvements – Waterford Drive to Sells Alley. As a result of the Project not being awarded
in 2023, the budgeted funds were not encumbered prior to the end of 2023. Should Council accept
this most recently received bid as the lowest and best bid, an appropriation to fund this contract
will be included in the first quarter supplemental.
The engineer’s estimate for the Project is $1,300,000. Decker Construction Company submitted the
lowest and best bid of $1,064,626.20. Staff has reviewed all bids and a summary of the bids
received is listed below.
