Street Limits Width—Feet Width—Feet Gilvin Street Pharr Street to 36 56 West Service Road of I-35W Origin :of Project This project was initiated by a letter received in the Assessment Paving office on May 21, 1979, from Leonard Properties, owners of 50 percent of the adjacent property. On June 12, 1979 (M&C G-4194) , the City Council authorized the Public Works Director to design and advertize the project for bids. Improvements Gilvin Street is presently a narrow roadway with penetration pavement in poor condition, the Rock Island Railroad tracks on the west side and the Leonard property on the east side. The Leonard property has recently been developed. Improvements will consist of industrial grade concrete pavement with concrete curb and driveway approaches where requested. Storm drain improvements will consist of 440 feet of storm drain pipe and appurtenances plus an open seeded drainage channel along a portion of the west side of the street. Receipt of Bids The project was advertized for bids on October 25 and November 1, 1979, and the following bids were received on November 15, 1979, with 65 working days allotted: Base Bid Base Bid Bidder + Alt. #1 + Alt. #2 Lewis and Lewis, Inc. $163,806.65 $177,191.40 J. L. Bertram Const. and Eng. , Inc. 171,405.21 184,182.66 Austin Road Company 183,546.40 189,481.98 Note: Alternate -#1, provides for 440 feet of storm drain pipe and an open seeded drainage channel. Alternate #2, provides for 666 feet of storm drain pipe. There is presently an old existing storm drain system which is under the railroad tracks. Alternate #1 wi-l- allow the above to discharge into the seeded channel across the railroad property and empty into the storm drain system in Gilvin Street. Alternate #2 would provide storm drain pipe instead of the seeded channel. Considering the cost and the condition of the old storm drain system under the railroad tracks, it is the opinion of the engineering staff that Alternate #1 should be awarded.. e DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT: Award of Contract - Assessment I PAGE NUMBER Paving of Gilvin Street (1978- 12/4/79 % C-4897 81 CIP, Pages ST-39 and ST-40) ice' °f 3 Project Cost and Financing Based on the low bid and standard policy, approximately $51,096.50 is proposed to be assessed against the adjacent properties. The Leonard property on the east side of the street is zoned Industrial and is being assessed for pavement, curb and driveway. The Rock Island Railroad property on the west side of the street is not being assessed since it is unusable except for railroad track and will not be enhanced as indicated in M&C G-4194, June 12, 1979. However, the railroad is being assessed for a driveway at the north end of the street to provide access to their "piggy-back" loading dock. Funding for the property owners' share of construction cost will be provided for by a bond fund transfer from the Revolving Fund Unspecified. Cost to the City for street construction is approxi- mately $60,026.75 and $64,149.87 for storm drain construction (both items include engineering costs). Bond fund transfers are required from the Assessment Paving Unspecified Account in the amount of $112,800 for the City' s construction cost and $11 ,466 from the Engineering Unspecified Account to supplement the engineering funds in the project account. Recommendations It is recommended that: 1. The City Council approve the reallocation and allotment of Fund 21 from 1979 CIP Project 095901 for $12,000 and Project 024901 for $113,000. 2.
