The City contracts to repair paving and site work damaged in the process of repairing water mains, sewer mains and other utility repairs and other miscellaneous work related to utility operations. This contract also allows for some isolated street repairs in conjunction with the pavement preservation program. This contract is for Area 2 (locations primarily south of Texas State Highway 352).
The annual contracts for utility concrete repair are necessary to provide timely concrete pavement repairs for main breaks and water and sewer main replacement by City crews. An analysis of performing this type of work in-house determined that the quantity of work does not justify a full-time crew. An evaluation of staffing a full-time crew for these types of repairs would require an additional $475,000.00 in equipment and labor, plus the cost of the concrete. The contract is expected to begin in July of 2021 and will have a one-year duration with the option for two additional one-year renewals.
Bid notices were broadcast through the Periscope Holdings electronic bidding system, posted on the City's website and an Advertisement for Bid was published in the Daily Commercial Record newspaper. A total of seven responsive bids were received.
Financial Implications
Funding for this contract is budgeted under the Water Main Replacement Program and funded through Water and Sewer Revenue funds.
