Public Works Department recommends the bid for the Arterial Overlay Project - Parker Road & Windhaven Parkway to be awarded to Texas Materials Group, Inc., dba Texas Bit, in the amount of $1,512,389.45, be accepted as the lowest responsible bid for the project, conditioned upon timely execution of all necessary documents.

This project authorizes a contract to place an ultra-thin overlay on Parker Road between Preston Road and Independence Parkway and on Windhaven Parkway between the west city limit and Dallas North Tollway southbound service road.  The ultra-thin overlay will be similar to the overlay performed on Independence Parkway in 2017.  Since that year, the number of pavement repairs required on that section of Independence Parkway has been minimal, thereby demonstrating the effectiveness of ultra-thin overlay to preserve the underlying concrete pavement.

If the project is not awarded, the overlay will not be installed and the pavement will deteriorate quicker, resulting in higher future maintenance costs and a rougher riding surface. 

Funding for this item is available in the 2020-21 Capital Maintenance Fund budget.  Awarding the contract for Arterial Overlay - Parker Road and Windhaven Parkway, in the total estimated amount of $1,512,389, will leave a balance of $1,787,611 for future expenditures.

Approval of this item supports the City's Strategic Plan Critical Success Factor of Excellent, Innovative, and Accountable City Government.
