Council action on the project described below is requested.
Project Description
Roadway R.O.W.
Unit Description Limits Width Feet
III Ederville Road From 400' west of Jill Lane to 48 65 to 80
Brentwood Stair Road
This project is a part,of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP A-19) and will
serve as a connection between Oakland Boulevard, Wilson Road, Weiler Boulevard
and IH-820.
Bids were received on June 17, 1971, for the construction of 6 inches thick
reinforced concrete pavement and 6 inches thick cement stabilized subgrade,
complete with monolithic curb. In addition, the project included the con-
struction of a retention pond and related storm sewer facilities and appurte-
nances. The low bidder was Austin Road Company in the amount of $296,000.03.
Working days allotted: 220. On July 12, 1971, M&C C-2033, the staff was
requested to take bids on hot-mix asphaltic concrete.
Bids were received on August 19, 1971, consisting of two alternate types of
construction using hot-mix asphaltic concrete pavement designs.
Since this project is in an area of changeable soil which has shown extreme
problems cracking in nearby streets, additional soil samples were obtained to
determine the underlying soil conditions. These tests were made in addition
to the normal procedure of obtaining a soil sample at or very near the pro-
posed street elevation. These tests indicate that soils in this area consist
of layers of very high plastic material, which are very close to the surface
in some cases. Along the profiles of the streets, the types of soils change
rapidly due to the many layers of various soils. Most of the soil layers are
of a clay variety, but some sand layers exist which would tend to feed moisture
to the clay stratas and thereby increase shrinking and swelling.
Alternate No. 2
Using the Texas Highway Department method of design and taking into considera-
tion the characteristics of the soils encountered in the tests, it was deter-
mined that a paving design should consist of 6 inch hot-mix asphalt concrete,
6 inch cement stabilized crushed stone, and 6 inch stabilized subgrade. This
paving section, along with concrete curb and gutter, the retention pond, storm
drainage facilities and appurtenances, are known as "Alternate No. 2".
Alternate No. 1
Due to existing financial restrictions in bond financed projects, an alternate

was designed using a stage construction method by which a lower first cost is
obtained with the probability of some future cost, Alternate No. 1 is similar
to the City's reconstruction specifications and consists of 2 inches of hot-mix
asphaltic concrete, 8 inches cement stabilized crushed stone, and 6 inches of
stabilized subgrade, with the concrete curb and gutter, retention pond, storm
drain facilities and appurtenances. The stage construction concept is based
on the expectation that a few years after construction, an additional 2 inches
of hot-mix asphaltic surface would have to be added. The end result, consist-
ing of 4 inches of hot-mix asphaltic concrete, 8 inches of stabilized crushed
stone on 6 inches of stabilized subgrade, would be nearly equal to that speci-
fied in Alternate 2. It is felt that some "heaving" and, settling of the
street will occur in the first 3 to 5 years, and after that time, an additional
2 inches of hot-mix surface could be supplied which would re-level the roadway.
Pavement Evaluation
In considering the overall performance, serviceability, maintenance and
financial considerations, the order of selection would be:
1) Reinforced concrete pavement
2) Alternate 2
3) Alternate 1
Submission of Bids
The following bids have been received:
Bidder Alternate 1 Alternate 2
Glade, Inc. $20Z,449.11 $237,968.61
L. Grimes and Company, Inc. 211,993.94 249,950.89
Texas Bitulithic Company 210,931.25 251,926.65
Austin Road Company 216,224.93 255,356.47
H. B. Wells and Associates No Bid No Bid
S.R.O. Asphalt, Incorporated No Bid No Bid
R. W. Gibbins, Incorporated No Bid No Bid
Walt Williams Construction Co. No Bid No Bid
Bid Evaluation
If Alternate 1 is selected, the additional 2 inch hot-mix asphaltic top that
would need to be placed in 3 to 5 years, would consist of 30,050 square yards
at approximately $1.00 per square yard, which would equal $30,050. In addi-
tion, it is felt that, due to the thin hot-mix asphaltic surface, some sur-
face and base failures may occur. If approximately 5 per cent failures occur
on the area, the cost of these repairs when added to the cost of the additional
2 inches of hot-mix asphaltic concrete would equal the bid of Alternate 2.
There is a risk of much greater surface cracking and base failure with the
2 inch surface. Further assessments could not be levied against adjacent
property owners at a future date when the additional hot-mix surface was
added. It is recommended that Alternate No. 2 be selected and awarded to the
low bidder, Glade, Incorporated, in the amount of $237,968.61,
