Name: Consideration of a Resolution awarding a bid to Granite Construction Company in the amount of $58,886 for the Street Improvements to Dolores Street between 4th and 5th Avenues, approve a project contingency of $5,886, and approve engineering and inspection during construction of $11,773 for a total project cost of $76,524.

Description: Repaving of Dolores Street between 4th and 5th Avenues compliments the completion of the Carmel Foundation Trevvett Court housing project. It also will improve the structural fabric of the street and provide for safer driving conditions.

Overall Cost:
City Funds: $76,524.00
Construction Bid: $58,865.00
Project Contingency: $5,886.00
Project Engineering and inspection: $11,773.00
Grant Funds: N/A

Staff Recommendation: Adopt the Resolution.

Important Considerations: Dolores Street between 4th and 5th is an area of senior living and the structural integrity of the street was compromised as the result of the Trevvett Court housing project. An overlay will restore the structural integrity of this section of Dolores Street.

Decision Record: The Dolores Street Improvement project has been scheduled for several years and is a project recommended as high priority in the Pavement Management study performed by Nichols Engineering.
