*Consideration of Resolution 2017-15 to Award the Construction Contract (COF Contract No. 2016-0276) for the East McEwen Drive Safety Enhancements Project to Superior Traffic Control, Inc. in the Amount of $93,267.70 and to Establish a Project Contingency in the Amount of $10,000.00 (03/14/17 WS)

body

 

Purpose

The purpose of this memo is to provide information to the Franklin Board of Mayor and Aldermen (BOMA) concerning Resolution 2017-15 to award the construction contract (COF Contract No. 2016-0276) to Superior Traffic Control, Inc. (STC) and to establish a project contingency.

 

Background

On July 28, 2016, City staff presented the results of a traffic and safety study for the section of East McEwen Drive, between Cool Springs Boulevard/Oxford Glen Drive and Wilson Pike, to the Capital Investment Committee (CIC).  The recommended improvements from this study included: new and larger warning signs, driver feedback signs, flashing beacons, centerline rumble strip, raised pavement markers, updated striping, and the installation of additional guardrail.

 

In an effort to expedite the delivery of this project, some of the recommended improvements have been completed both in-house by City staff and by the Streets Department annual contractor.  The remaining improvements were combined into a single construction contract (COF Contract No. 2016-0276) for competitive bidding.

 

On February 20, 2017, City staff received, opened, and read construction bids for this project.  Superior Traffic Control, Inc. (STC), with a total bid amount of $93,267.70, was the apparent low bidder.  After careful review and tabulation of bids, staff recommends awarding the construction contract (COF Contract No. 2016-0276) to STC.  To cover any unforeseen or changed project conditions, quantities, or cost overruns, staff requests a project contingency of $10,000.00

 

Financial Impact

During the discussions of these safety enhancements and during the development of the fiscal years (FYs) 2017-2026 Capital Investment Program (CIP), it was anticipated that this interim safety enhancement project would be funded from the capital project funds dedicated to the East McEwen Drive Improvements - Phase 4 Project.  The general ledger code to be used for project expenses is expected to be 310-89420-43100.
