DISCUSSION:
On September 12, 2023, the City Council authorized the award of a construction contract to the lowest responsible/responsive bidder (SNZ Contractors, Inc) in the amount of $115,095.00 with a 10% contingency in the amount of $11,509.50 for the Blanchard Avenue Sidewalk Gap Project (#37603115). The proposed improvements for the Blanchard Avenue Sidewalk Gap Project consisted of constructing missing sidewalk in front of four residential properties to create a continuous path of travel. The project also reconstructed existing driveways and an existing curb ramp to be compliant with the latest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements along the east side of Blanchard Avenue, just south of Miller Avenue. The improvements ultimately enhanced pedestrian path of travel for residents in the vicinity.
SNZ Contractors, Inc completed the construction of the project on December 13, 2023. The project was successfully completed for the final contract amount of $109,273.75, a decrease of 5.06% from the original contract amount of $115,095.00 and $17,330.75 under the total authorized budget.
