Title

Authorization for Sidewalk Construction at NW 23^rd Terrace and NW 34^th Boulevard (B)

This item is a request for the City Commission to approve the guaranteed maximum price of $592,300 for the sidewalk construction contract with Parrish-McCall Constructors.

Explanation

The sidewalk project connects the PineRidge community along NW 23^rd Terrace from NW 62^nd Ave to NW 34^th Blvd, providing a connection along NW 34^th Blvd from NW 23^rd Terrace north to the existing sidewalk, and modifying bus stops to current ADA standards.  The proposal is based on construction plans prepared by Comprehensive Engineering Services, Inc, with input from community stakeholders. Project required utility upgrades that were performed by GRU, replacing a water main. On November 6, 2014, the City Commission approved the list of qualified firms for construction management at risk for minor projects; Parrish-McCall Constructors was one of the qualified firms (Legistar # 140415). According to City Purchasing Policy any construction project exceeding $300,000 requires City Commission approval.  

Fiscal Note

Funding is available through a combination of Transportation Management Program Area (TMPA) fees and the City of Gainesville's Capital Improvement Plan allocation for sidewalks.

Recommendation

The City Commission:  1) approve the project task; and 2) authorize the City Manager or designee to issue the purchase order.
