3. Report on Construction Bids for the 2019 Overlay Program
Mr. English explained this project went out to bid in March; the City received four bids. The low bid, $1,307,369, was submitted by Lakeside Industries. The engineer’s estimate was $1,259,198. He
recommended awarding the bid to Lakeside Industries. This year’s program will pave 6.8 lane miles of city street. Funding for the project is provided by REET 126 and 125 ($450,000 each), General Fund ($500,000) Street Capital Fund ($100,000) and Water Utility Fund ($300,000) for street impacted by
watermain replacement for a total of $1.8M. Staff recommends a 15% construction management and 10% management reserve. The project was bid with two-thirds of the material hot mix asphalt with Kevlar fibers which is expected to extend the life by 50%. Discussion followed regarding lane miles paved in 2018 (approx. 7 miles), slurry/chip seal (none this year), amount of other bids, paving done in previous years via contract with Snohomish County and economies of scale doing paving with Snohomish County. Councilmember Johnson inquired about a street off Bowdoin Way where a stormwater project was done but was not included in this year’s or last year’s overlays. Staff will research.

The engineer’s estimate was $181,000. The proposed construction budget is $225,856 with a 15% construction management and 15% management reserve.

5. Street Dedication for 216th St. SW adjacent to Edmonds Woodway High School
Mr. English explained one of the requirements of the Edmonds-Woodway High School field improvements was a street dedication to increase the width of 216th Street SW to 60 feet of right-of-way as required by the City Street Map. There will be no changes to the sidewalk or street.

6. Frances Anderson Roofing Bid Refusal Mr. Williams explained the City received a grant two years ago through the State capital budget process of $391,400. Department of Commerce management expenses and design left approximately $350,000 for roof construction costs. The project was put out to bid in January 2019 and two bids were submitted for $500,000 and $566,000. The engineer’s estimate was $400,000. Staff research found redoing the
historic parapets was outside the roofers’ expertise. That aspect of the project was removed from the project and it was put out to bid again. One bid in the amount of $425,000 was received. With only one bid that was above the engineer’s estimate, he was not comfortable accepting the bid. Staff’s intent is to provide more flexibility in the specifications and rebid; the original bid specified a roofing system, Siplaste, which was recommended by the architect who designed the roof and the parapets. He requested Council reject the bids. Discussion followed regarding the limited number of companies certified to apply Siplaste, current
roofing material, whether leaks were causing structural damage, and the time required to redo specs and rebid.
Action: Schedule on Consent Agenda
The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m.
