Zlf[RING 1U O(IAT.S <br />Memo <br />TO: Mayor Biesener & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer <br />DATE: September 9, 2014 <br />RE: City Hall Concrete Work <br />At the August 13th meeting the City Council directed staff to pursue the concrete <br />improvements in front of City Hall. There was some debate on the use of colored and/or <br />stamped concrete for the entrance and the result of the discussion was to bid the work <br />with a colored border. The attached plan sheet shows the layout that was provided to <br />the Contractors for bidding. The entrance is relatively the same size with a slight <br />expansion for the walk behind the island planting area to maintain a 4 -foot regular <br />concrete walking area between the City Hall entrance and the History Center entrance. <br />We did obtain unit pricing for all work items in the event the City would like to modify the <br />entrance layout or size based on the final desired look. Below is a list of the quotes <br />received for the work: <br />Contractor Quoted Price <br />Remackel Outdoor Services, Inc $16,904.00 <br />L'Allier Concrete $22,349.00 <br />The additional cost of the colored concrete verses regular concrete was $3.00 per <br />square foot on the low bid and $5.50 per square foot on the bid from L'Allier Concrete. <br />As shown on the attached plan sheet there is approximately 240 square feet of colored <br />concrete proposed. <br />Council may recall that the concrete work at City Hall was previously bid with the <br />Spooner Park concrete work and only a single base bid of $25,840.00 was received at <br />that time. That base bid did not include any colored concrete border. Based on the <br />quotes received and the previous pricing we would recommend the City Council <br />authorize Remackel Outdoor Services, Inc. to complete the work. The City Council <br />should also provide direction on the entrance layout and proposed colored border.
