SUMMARY STATEMENT:
In a continuing effort to being more proactive in the required maintenance of city streets, Public Works issued Bid Number 16-03 for a Crack Sealing Trailer. This piece of equipment
will allow the Streets Division to properly repair the many cracks found in our city streets to prevent water and other material from entering and causing further damage. The sealing
of cracks should happen during the coldest months of the year when the cracks are their widest. This however usually conflicts with wet weather conditions. Typically the Streets Division
rents a crack sealing trailer for about three to four weeks in the spring. About 40% of the time, the trailer sits idle due to wet weather. Having a trailer on hand will allow the Streets
Division to not only spend more time sealing cracks in the spring but also in the late fall before the onset of winter. The crack sealing trailer will also be shared with the Airport
to properly maintain the runways.
Public Works issued an Invitation to Bid to purchase a Crack Sealing trailer. This was publicly advertised as required by State Statutes. The Invitation to Bid included specific instructions
to the bidders regarding the requirements that the Streets Division had. The bid opening was on November 19, 2015.
A bid tabulation and recommendation will be provided at the time of the City Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Authorize staff to issue a “Notice of Award” to _______ for the purchase of a Crack Sealing Trailer, and authorize the Mayor sign all necessary documents.
