PUBLIC COMMENT.
BRODIE AVENUE CULVERT REPAIR — REQUEST APPROVAL.
Mgr. Sievers stated the 60" inch corrugated metal pipe that allows Fish Creek to flow
under Brodie Avenue is rusted through compromising its integrity. Relining the pipe is
an extremely specialized task and can only be done by contractors specializing in this
service. Staff acquired 2 quotes to reline the pipe; neither includes digging, damming,
dewatering, or permitting, which is estimated at $28,000.
Shotcrete Technologies
Idaho Springs, Colorado
Insituform Technologies
Littleton, Colorado
Spray concrete relining $12,000
Fiberglass relining $80,000
Staff recommends accepting the quote from Shotcrete Technologies in the amount of
$12,000 for a spray concrete relining. The life expectancy of a concrete lining is 5 to 10
years; however a concrete box culvert or bridge would need to be installed in the future
for an estimated cost of $250,000. Brodie Avenue will be closed for approximately 3-6
hours during the repair, which will be completed this fall. Following discussion, the
Committee recommends awarding the bid to Shotcrete Technologies at a cost of
$12,000 plus $28,000 for digging, damming, dewatering, and permitting to repair
the culvert as budgeted (Account 101-3100-431-35-60).
2006 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT — REQUEST APPROVAL.
Mgr. Sievers stated bids were received for the overlay portion of the 2006 Street
Improvement Program (STIP). Chip Seal, paving, and striping was completed in July at a
cost of $55,000, leaving a remaining budget of $135,000 for the overlay project.
Coulson Excavating, Loveland, CO
LaFarge Paving, Frederick, CO
$180,625.00
$154,341.90
Overlaying would be completed on Bailey Lane, E. Riverside Dr., Elk Ridge Court, Fir
Ave., Monida Ct., Morgan Lane, Mountain View Ct., Big Hom, and University Loop. Staff
recommends accepting the low bid from LaFarge Paving, who has agreed to the same
base unit costs and the reduction in paving to be completed to fit within the budget.
Following discussion, the Committee recommends awarding the bid to LaFarge
Paving at a cost of $135,000 as budgeted (Account 101-3100-431-35-60).
