Re: Resolutions 34-23 and 35-23 – Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the Street
Maintenance Program 2023 – Phase 1, 23-001-CIP and Phase 2, 23-002-CIP
Summary
On March 8, 2023, three (3) bids were received and publicly opened for the Street Maintenance
Program 2023 – Phase 1 (23-001-CIP). Additionally, on March 23, 2023, three (3) bids were
received and publicly opened for the Street Maintenance Program 2023 – Phase 2 (23-002-CIP).
Both projects in this Program consist of replacing deteriorated concrete curb and gutter, street
base stabilization, milling of deteriorated pavement surfaces, placement of new asphalt pavement
and other associated street maintenance work. Phase 2 of this Program includes a safety related
reconfiguration of the left turn lanes on Avery-Muirfield Drive at the intersections of Perimeter
Drive and Perimeter Loop Road/Hospital Drive aimed at reducing crashes and increasing visibility.
This will maintain the average Pavement Condition Index (PCI) of the City’s roadway network at
83, higher than the City’s overall goal of 75, which is a “good” condition.
Please see the location maps at the end of this memo for the general Program work locations. For
Council’s reference, a copy of the construction drawings can be provided upon request.
The Engineer’s estimates for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the 2023 Program, including alternates, are
$2,304,000 and $2,611,000, respectively, for a total estimated cost of $4,915,000 for both phases.
The 2023 budgeted funds in the 2023-2027 Capital Improvements Program (CIP) for the Annual
Street Maintenance Program are $5,100,000, and the budgeted funds for the Avery-Muirfield Left
Turn Lane Modifications are $260,000. As a result, the total of the budgeted funds available for the
Program work is $5,360,000.
Strawser Paving Company, Inc. submitted the lowest and best bid of $2,304,953.74 for the Street
Maintenance Program 2023 – Phase 1, which includes bid Alternate 1 and bid Alternate 2. Bid
Alternate 1 includes work on Tayside Circle and Royal Dublin Road, but planned work on Rings
Road that was included in Alternate 1 has been removed from the scope of work for this Program
to better coordinate with the Avery and Rings Road/Cara Road interim intersection improvements.
Bid Alternate 2 includes work on Rings Road between Frantz Road and Dublin Road. Staff has
reviewed all bids, and a summary of the bids received with selected Alternates is listed below.

Staff has determined the elevated bid prices for the Program are due to market conditions and the
nature of the project work. Elevated market prices for petroleum and construction materials have
led to increased prices for asphalt, concrete, electrical and related bid items. In addition, work in
the Avery-Muirfield Drive corridor is restricted to be performed only at night. The preceding
resulted in higher bid prices, but in reviewing the bids, staff believes the bid prices better reflect
the actual costs to perform the work as compared to the Engineer’s estimates.
The resulting total cost as bid with the selected alternates for both phases of the Program is
$5,194,545.68. While this total cost is greater than the cumulative Engineer’s estimates, it is less
than the total of the budgeted funds available for the Program work.
The work for both phases of the Program is expected to commence in May 2023 and be completed
by October 1, 2023.

Maintenance of Traffic
All work will be performed while maintaining traffic, where possible, with efforts being taken to
minimize interruptions to motorists, provide access for emergency services, and maintain access to
driveways and adjacent streets as much as possible, while consistently providing a safe work area
for both motorists and workers. Work in the Avery-Muirfield area will be performed at night to
minimize impacts to traffic throughout the day during business hours.
Communications with Residents and Motorists
The following communication methods will be used to communicate construction information with
the residents and motorists throughout the duration of this project.
• Fliers are placed on mailboxes at each residence on affected streets. These are distributed
by Dublin staff.
• Residents whose driveways will be closed during construction will be given written notice at
their front door at least 24 hours in advance of the closure. These notices are distributed
by the contractor.
• Temporary notification signs are placed along streets at least 24 hours in advance of
upcoming construction work and anticipated construction dates.
• When appropriate, portable message board signs are used for construction notification on
arterial and collector streets.
• The City of Dublin road improvement updates page provides current construction schedule
information. This webpage is listed on the signs posted in advance of construction activities
and in the flier placed on mailboxes. See: www.dublinohiousa.gov/construction.
• Due to the short notification time period for driveway closures, Dublin Engineering staff
makes adjustments to the construction schedule to accommodate resident needs on a
case-by-case basis.
• The City of Dublin social media channels are used to communicate timely construction
updates.
