Fahey COUNCIL Jim LaValte latt Anderson Rick Montour 1311 Blesener ADiAIIA73TRA7oR Joel R. Hanson Background On Wednesday, May 14, 2003, the City of Little Canada received, opened, and read aloud the bids for our street seal coating. In an effort to get the best value for the City, we combined our bid with the City of Vadnais Heights and also requested bids using virgin and recycled aggregate. Attached is a summary of the bids received. Also, attached is the list of streets to be seal coated. This year the City of Vadnais Heights is going to try the quick drying (CRS -2P) bituminous seal coating material to see if the benefits are worth the extra cost. The City of Little Canada is proposing to stay with the Standard CRS -2 bituminous material. B udget Bids were requested from seven companies and only three companies submitted bids. The bids ranged from a low of $0.50 per square yard to a high $0.81 per square yard. Last year (2002) the low bid for this work using recycled FA -2 aggregate was $0.490 per square yard or $0.01 lower than the 2003 bid for the FA -2. After evaluating the bids, it was determined that Pearson Bros., Inc. provides the best value for the City of Little Canada at an estimated total value of $20,082.50. The 2003 budget included $27,500 for this seal coating work. Recommendation The Council direct staff to enter into a contract with Pearson Bros., Inc., for our 2003 street seal coating.
