City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

03/02/2021

BACKGROUND

Previously the City completed a project constructing concrete pavement on Schertz Parkway between East Live Oak and Maske Road. After construction was completed, there were multiple water line leaks along the west side of Schertz Parkway. The water line leaks caused instability in the base material underneath portions of the concrete pavement sections. The instability resulted in voids underneath the concrete pavement, causing it to shift and crack at multiple locations. To avoid further deterioration of the concrete pavement and provide for a smoother driving surface, the damaged panels of concrete pavement need to be removed and replaced.

Additionally, the City wishes to have the entire surface of the concrete pavement diamond ground to improve the surface smoothness. The damaged concrete panels should be replaced before the grinding is done in order to have a more uniform and overall smoother surface of the street.

Bids for replacement of the damaged concrete panels were opened on February 11th, 2021. Five bids were received. of the five bids, the lowest bid was from San Antonio Constructors, LTD. One bid was rejected as being non-response because the bidder did not provide all the information required for the bid submittal. Staff has reveiwed the bids and supporting documentation and determined that the bid from San Antonio Constructors is acceptable.

GOAL

To obtain authorization from Council to execute a contract with San Antonio Constructors, LTD for $52,063, and a not to exceed amount of $60,000, for the Schertz Parkway Concrete Pavement Repair Project.

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Due to the water line leaks, some concrete pavement panels have shifted and cracked. This has increased the surface roughness in some areas, causing a more rough ride in vehicles. The cracks also provide an avenue for more moisture to enter the subgrade, which can cause further issues. Replacing the damaged concrete panels will restore the surface smoothness to original condition and prevent further deterioration.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDED ACTION

Authorize execution of the construction contract for the Schertz Parkway Concrete Pavement Repair project with San Antonio Constructors, LTD, for $52,063 and a not to exceed amount of $60,000.

FISCAL IMPACT

The cost of the project shall not exceed $60,000 and funding is available from Certificates of Obligation for Road Improvements not spent on other SPAM projects. The final cost of the 2018 SPAM Rehabilitation project (completed Fall 2020) was less than the budgeted amount, leaving adequate funding for this contract.

RECOMMENDATION

Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 21-R-15 and authorize award of the bid for the Schertz Parkway Concrete Pavement Repair Project to San Antonio Constructors, LTD for $52,063 and a not to exceed amount of $60,000.
