DATE REFERENCE suB~ECTESTABLISHMENT OF HEARING DATE FOR PAGE 7/23/85 NUMBER **C-9147 ECONSTRUCT ION OF STATE HIGHWAY 183 FROM 2 2 ` __ TATE HIGHWAY 199 TO FARM-MARKET 1220 ° Project Description Roadway R.O.W. Street Limits Width-Feet Width-Feet State Highway 183 S.H. 199 (Jacksboro Hwy) 60 80 (Ephriham Ave.) to F.M. 1220 (Azle Ave) Improvements State Highway 183 in this area is approximately 60-feet wide with an asphalt surface on a concrete base with approximately 50 percent of the abutting property having concrete curb and gutter and driveway approaches. Present ,improvements will include repair of the existing base and construction of a new 2-inch thick hot-mix asphaltic concrete surface with a fabric underseal. The improvements will also include contructing new concrete curb and gutter and driveway approaches where they are needed. Required storm drain facilities will also be added. Receipt of Bids Bids on the project were received on June 7, 1985, by the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation with APAC-Texas, Inc., being the low bidder at $512,480.02. The City's share of the construction cost is $60,495.00 for curb and gutter, driveway approaches and storm drain facilities. The contractor will have 50 working days to complete the project. Project Cost and Financing Based on the low bid unit prices and the City's standard policy for reconstruction, approximately $31,533.59 is proposed to be assessed against adjacent properties for non-existing curb and gutter and driveway approaches. Funding for the property owners share of construction cost was previously provided for by M&C C-9059, dated June 4, 1985. Then total low bid received by the S. D. H.P.T. is 15.77 percent over the engineer's estimate. Several of the unit bid prices, for which the City is responsible, are excessive compared to recent bids received by the City. The staff has.. negotiated with the S.D.H.P.T. local district office staff and recommended to the State Highway Commission that the City of Fort Worth's share (unit bid prices) be increased by the 15.77 percent over the engineer's estimate rather than using the actual unit bid prices to determine the City's share of cost. The State Highway Commission accepted the recommendation which resulted in a savings to the City of approximately $30,000. A bond fund transfer is required to provide for the City's $8,240 (15.77%) additional cost. DAI ue SUBMITTED FOR TH CITY MANAGER'S ~ ~~ i// / OFFICE BY ~,u~C . ~ ll ~[~L~~- DISPOSITION BY COUNCIL.
