Executive Summary:
The Council is asked to approve award of and authorize the execution of a contract for Legend Avenue Roadway Improvements Phase 2. The recommended lowest responsive, responsible bidder is Lanier Construction Company, Inc., Snow Hill, NC, in the total amount of $657,020.60.
Background:
This project will consist of a new two lane roadway section approximately 1,000 feet in length that starts at the existing signalized intersection on Skibo Road at Walmart. The road will be constructed adjacent to the Barcelona Night Club property and will join the existing Legend Avenue near the IT’Z Entertainment property. This is the realignment phase of Legend Avenue to the signalized intersection.
The project was first advertised for bids to be opened on September 05, 2018; however, only two bids were received. North Carolina General Statutes require three (3) bids in order to open the first advertisement for projects of this cost. The project, therefore, was re-advertised and bids were opened on September 27, 2018.
Bids received are as follows:
Lanier Construction Company, Inc. Snow Hill, NC $657,020.60
Highland Paving Company, LLC, Fayetteville, NC $681,556.80
Phase 1 that includes the widening at the intersection with Sycamore Dairy Rd is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in January, 2018.
Issues/Analysis:
Bids were received from two Contractors as outlined above. The lowest bidder Lanier Construction Company, Inc. is recommended.
Budget Impact:
Sufficient funds for this project have been included in the FY2019 Budget.
Options:
• Award the contract as recommended to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder, Lanier Construction Company, in the amount of $657,020.60.
• Do not award the contract and provide additional direction to staff.
Recommended Action:
Award the contract as recommended to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder, Lanier Construction Company, in the amount of $657,020.60.
