Two bids were received. <br /> Only one bid meets the specifications advertised. One bidder, Bituminous Roadways Inc., is <br /> attempting to provide a different type and larger size rock than is specified, stating that the chip <br /> specified is not available. This is not the case. Staff specified this size chip because it provides <br /> for a very tight seal, and is not as prone to stripping as larger chips. While providing very good <br /> skid resistance, it is not as abrasive as a larger chip as Bituminous Roadways Inc. has attempted <br /> to utilize. Staff has used a larger rock size in the past and has not received favorable results. <br /> This action by Bituminous Roadways Inc. has disqualified their bid. Staff is recommending <br /> acceptance of Allied Blacktop's bid of$82,970.60 and approval for the Director of Public Works <br /> 0 to sign all change orders up to fifteen per cent(15%) of the total bid. <br /> "454( <br /> Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Council approve the 97-3 Sealcoating project to Allied Blacktop for a <br /> bid of$82,970.60 and authorize the Director of Public Works to sign all change orders up to <br /> fifteen per cent(15%) of the approved bid to be funded from the Pavement Management <br /> Program, account no. 100-4470-705. <br /> 0 <br />
