Hanson <br />On Friday, July 7, the City of Little Canada received, opened, and read aloud bids for our street <br />seal coating. We have once again combined our work with Vadnais Heights and added Falcon <br />Heights this year to provide a larger square yardage for companies to bid on. I have included a <br />chart of streets we plan to have seal coated this summer. <br />Last year Pearson Brothers, Inc. received the bid and did the work for $.64 /Square Yard. We are <br />using the same specifications as last year: Virgin FA -2 trap rock with CRS -2 bituminous <br />material. <br />We received two bids, one from Pearson Bros. and one from Allied Blacktop. The bids have <br />been broken down to cost per city on the attached sheet. Based on the results I would <br />recommend that we award the bid to Pearson Bros. at $.80 per square yard. The budget <br />projected the cost to be $.89 per square yard so we are well within that number. The significant <br />price increase can be directly attributed to the higher cost of oil. That directly affects the price of <br />oil in the bituminous material applied to the streets as well as the cost of fuel for the trucks and <br />sweepers. <br />Our quantities are down this year due to a couple of scheduled streets being taken off of the list <br />as seal coating would not provide any benefit to the street. They are beyond that stage in their <br />life cycle. <br />
