Purpose and Recommended Action
Recommendation
This is a request for City Council to authorize the City Manager enter into a Linking Agreement with J. Banicki Construction, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $288,580.50, for the City Bridge Repair Program. The term of the Agreement is effective through November 30, 2017.
Background
The city has 55 bridges which represent an investment of over $100 million in city assets based on replacement costs in today’s economy. With the exception of minor repairs (potholes, small paving projects, concrete repair, and sidewalk) the city contracts for all other preventative maintenance and reconstructive bridge projects.
J. Banicki Construction, Inc., was awarded a bid by the City of Peoria to perform bridge maintenance and repair. Staff is requesting to utilize the cooperative purchase with Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE). SAVE is a consortium of local municipalities, in which Glendale is a member. Contract No. ACON 54613A for Bridge Maintenance and Repair was awarded on December 1, 2013 and is effective through November 30, 2017.
Cooperative purchasing allows counties, municipalities, schools, colleges and universities in Arizona to use a contract that was competitively procured by another governmental entity or purchasing cooperative. Such purchasing helps reduce the cost of procurement, allows access to a multitude of competitively bid contracts, and provides the opportunity to take advantage of volume pricing. The Glendale City Code authorizes cooperative purchases when the solicitation process utilized complies with the intent of Glendale’s procurement processes. This cooperative purchase is compliant with Chapter 2, Article V, Division 2, Section 2-149 of the Glendale City Code, per review by Materials Management.
Analysis
The linking agreement of the City Bridge Repair Program provides for the repair of 11 bridges, which were identified as needing repairs by the most recent Arizona Department of Transportation inspection report and/or damaged by motor vehicle accidents.
Staff anticipates issuing a Notice to Proceed early March, with completion of this construction project before the end of June 2017.
Community Benefit/Public Involvement
Well maintained infrastructure is an important element of strong neighborhoods and business corridors and is critical for the attraction of quality economic development.
