TO: Committee of the Whole – City Services 3/2 FROM: Timothy Grimm, P.E., Civil Engineer DATE: February 24, 2021 RE: Resolution 21-025-R, Authorizing Execution of a Contract for the 2021 Crackfilling Program with Denler, Inc. for $193,316.75 Summary This project will include crackfilling City streets and will also include sealcoating, striping, and crackfilling. The fiberized crackfilling consists of cleaning and sealing of any cracks, voids or joints two inches in width or less with asphalt cement reinforced by polypropylene fibers. Map exhibits are provided in the contract showing the street and parking lot locations to be addressed this year. Crackfilling is a very cost-effective preventative maintenance technique and is performed routinely to keep water and debris from getting into the pavement. In addition, crackfill helps keep the roadway in safe condition by interrupting the propagation of cracking, potholes and other distresses in the roadway. The project is expected to start in early May and will be completed by June 25, 2021. Background The total budget for the annual crackfill program is $200,000. Estimated quantities are based on the number of streets areas that are currently in need of crackfilling maintenance and the severity of asphalt cracking. The sole funding source for the project is: • Street Maintenance MFT, 18-47-6471 ($200,000) Proposals Bids were opened on February 18, 2021 with the following results: 1. Denler, Inc. Bid: $175,742.50 2. SKC Construction, Inc Bid: $185,716.50 The lowest bidder for the 2021 Crackfilling Program was Denler, Inc. of Joliet, Illinois. The Engineer’s estimate for the work was $195,600. The unit pricing for the bituminous crackfill material came in about 1% lower than last year’s contract at $1.19/lb, most likely due to lower oil prices. The overall prices came are very favorable compared to the last five years of bid prices for this work. Denler has completed the crackfilling work for the past two years and we found their workmanship to be satisfactory. Construction is expected to begin in early May when the weather is more moderate and suitable for this type of work. Memo to: City Services Committee February 24, 2021 Page Two Staff Recommendation Every year there are several streets which could use crackfill maintenance but may not be addressed due to limited budget and this year will be no exception. So far the winter of 2021 has been unusually harsh on our streets and we expect to see a lot of pavement cracking this Spring. Staff typically awards projects up to 10% over bid amount to allow for fluctuations in constructed quantities. For this project, staff recommends increasing the contingency amount to 10% over the bid amount to account for field changes in quantities. If extra material is available the contingency amount will be used to address streets that require crackfill but were not included in the 2021 list due to budget limitations.
