body
Purpose
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Resolution 2015-46, a resolution awarding the construction contract (COF Contract No. 2014-0037) for the 3rd Avenue North Trail/Greenway Project (Bicentennial Park Phase 1, TDOT PIN 109424.00) to Jones Bros. Contractors, LLC.
Background
City staff worked over the last few years to start construction of the 3rd Ave North Project (both the Roadway and Trail phases). The Trail project currently has $630,000 in reimbursable Federal Funding ($787,500.00 total allocated funding with an 80% Fed/ 20% Local split) for the construction of a multi-use path system along the Harpeth River. The first phase (3rd Avenue North Extension Project) was completed in 2014 and generally included the roadway, bridge, lighting, utilities, landscaping and irrigation. The second phase (3rd Avenue North Trail/Greenway Project) includes the Harpeth River trail, selected park features, and additional landscaping and irrigation.
The 3rd Avenue North Trail/Greenway Project (Bicentennial Park Phase I) was recently bid out for a third time on July 8th, 2015. The City’s consultant, Wiser Consultants, reviewed the three (3) bid submittals and recommended bid award to the low bidder, Jones Bros. Contractors LLC. TDOT has concurred with the City’s bid recommendation, so we are ready for construction.
Financial Impact
The construction contract (COF Contract No. 2014-0037) with Jones Bros Contractors, LLC is at a total cost of 1,253,257.31.
This project is funded for construction by Recovery Zone Bonds for 3rd Avenue North (totaled at $7.9 Million). The TDOT Local Programs Agency Agreement (TDOT PIN 109424.00, COF Contract No. 2012-0190) allocates $787,500.00 in total funding towards the trail project (80% Federal / 20% Local). The City can request a maximum reimbursement from TDOT of $630,000.00. The City will be responsible for all remaining costs.
Recommendation
rec
Contingent upon further review by the City Engineer, City Attorney and the City Administrator, staff recommends approval of Resolution 2015-46, a Resolution Awarding the Construction Contract (COF Contract No. 2014-0037) for the 3rd Avenue North Trail/Greenway Project (Bicentennial Park Phase 1, TDOT PIN 109424.00) to Jones Bros. Contractors, LLC in the Amount of $1,253,257.31.
