INFORMATION: The Public Works Department has identified Roberts Street as an unpaved road in need of improvements. Roberts Street has the unique characteristic of a very steep incline followed by a sharp turn which leads to erosion issues and maintenance challenges. The Roberts Street residents desire for the road to be paved. Public Works contracted with Sungate Design Group to design the roadway improvement after the Town Council approved an Unpaved Roads Project Ordinance dedicated for Roberts Street. Public Works staff have held two neighborhood meetings with the Roberts Street residents in order to share the construction drawings and gather resident feedback. The project was bid out in February and the Town received three bids for the project as outlined in Attachment B, the certified bid tabulation.
FISCAL & STAFF IMPACT: The fiscal impact for the project will be $148,870.00; which will be funded from the Unpaved Roads Project Ordinance. There will be staff impacts associated with project management and inspections for this project.
RECOMMENDATION:r It is recommended that the Council approve the attached project resolution, awarding the contract to Lanier Construction.
