Rejection of bids for the Ninth and Cloud Street Intersection Improvements,
Project No. 91-841, and setting a new bid date.
Background
This project involves pavement, drainage and signal improvements which will serve
to create a conventional intersection configuration. One primary goal of the
project is to allow for dedicated left-turn lanes with protective signal phases on
all legs of the intersection. Currently, the intersection experiences much
traffic congestion at peak periods due to the lack of control with left turning
movements, especially on Cloud Street. A sketch illustrating the improvements is
attached for your review.
Four bids were received for the project on Tuesday, October 8, 1991 as follow:
Bidder Amount Schedule
Wilbur Construction Co., Salina $63,450.25 Jan. 15, 1992-June 12, 1992
Wilson Constructors, Inc~, Salina 63,897.00 Nov. 1, 1991-Apr. 29, 1992
J. H. Shears Sons', Inc., Salina 69,622.75 Mar. 1, 1992-May 14, 1992
Smoky Hill, Inc., Salina 70,155.00 Oct. 28, 1991-Jan. 26, 1992
The Engineer's estimate for the project is $54,835.00. It is staff's opinion that
the bids were unbalanced in terms of the "traffic signal modification" item, which
alone accounts for a difference of over $10,000 between the Engineer's estimate
and all bids. It is recommended that the project be bid again with the exclusion
of the traffic signal modification. That work would then be handled in-house or
by separate contract.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission reject all bids and set a new bid date
of November 12, 1991 for the project and Monday, November 18, 1991 as the date to
award the contract.
