CSP No. 2020-0705-B for Downtown Brick Paver Replacement, Project No. 7272, for the Engineering Department to Lisle, Inc. in the amount of $288,488; and authorizing the City Manager to execute all necessary documents. Tabled and referred to TIF Zone No. 2 Board.

The Engineering Department opened bids on October 22, 2020 for the Downtown Brick Paver Replacement project. The project includes rehabilitation of portions of the downtown streets by removing, reworking the base materials, and replacing approximately 1,000 square yards of the downtown brick pavers along 15th Street between the DART light rail crossing and K Avenue, and at the intersections of Municipal and 15th Street and 14th Street and K Avenue.

The proposal that provides the best value to the City is from Lisle, Inc., in the amount of $288,488. There were a total of 1133 vendors notified of this project; One (1) bidder did not provide the required proposal documents and was deemed non-responsive; Three (3) complete proposals were received for the project as shown in the attached CSP recap.

If this project is not awarded, the surface of downtown brick pavers at these locations will continue to deteriorate leading to increased future maintenance costs, a reduction in the quality of life for motorists and pedestrians in the downtown district, and potential lost revenues for local businesses.

Funding for this item is available in the 2020-21 Street Improvements CIP.  The rehabilitation of portions of downtown streets, including replacing brick pavers, in the total estimated amount of $288,488, will leave a balance of $11,512 for future project expenditures. 

Approval of this item will support the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factors of being an Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government with Multi-Modal Transportation and Mobility Solutions.
