Page 1 of 5 Item #11 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT May 6, 2025 Public Works - Engineering Division TITLE: APPROVE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, REVIEW BIDS, AND AWARD A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO SIERRA NEVADA CONSTRUCTION, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $293,007 FOR THE ANNUAL SLURRY SEAL PROJECT, CIP NO. 25504, AND APPROVE BUDGET AMENDMENTS IN THE GAS TAX FUND SUMMARY This project applies slurry seal on existing pavement to prolong the useful life of the existing street infrastructure while providing a safe and smooth riding condition. Slurry seal is an application of a thin coat of asphalt/aggregate slurry mixture that seals the road surface. The project was designed in-house, then competitively bid for construction. Staff recommends the City Council award the construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Sierra Nevada Construction, Inc. in the amount of $293,007. RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve plans and specifications, review bids, and award a construction contract for the Annual Slurry Sealing of Various Streets Project, CIP No. 25504, to Sierra Nevada Construction, Inc., of Sparks, NV, for the low bid amount of $293,007. 2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into the construction contract with Sierra Nevada Construction, Inc. 3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to approve and execute contract change orders for a project contingency amount not to exceed $29,301 (approximately 10 percent of the contract). 4. Approve budget amendments in the Gas Tax Fund (Fund 160), transferring $400,000 from the Annual Slurry Sealing of Various Streets Project, (CIP No. 25504), to the Annual Street Resurfacing & Reconstruction Project, (CIP No. 25503). BACKGROUND The City has two annual projects designed to maintain roadway infrastructure: the Annual Street Resurfacing and Preventative Maintenance Project and the Annual Slurry Seal of Various Streets Project. The first project resurfaces various roadways by overlaying the existing pavement with a new layer of asphalt concrete, while the other project slurry seals (i.e. applies a thin coat of asphalt/aggregate slurry mixture that seals the road surface) a different set of roadways. The resurfacing project is considered a street reconstruction project, while the slurry project is a preventative maintenance project. Together, these projects are designed to maintain the City’s roadway pavement condition. Slurry seal is placed on streets that are in good condition to seal the street before surface deterioration occurs, preventing water from penetrating the roadbed and causing premature roadway failure. Slurry seal treatments are expected to last six to eight years, depending on Page 125 of 249
