Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council award Contract #20210037 and enter into a unit price contract with Heavy Civil, Inc. for the Curtis Street sidewalk construction project.

1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and award Contract #20210037.
2. Move that the Council not approve Contract #20210037 and provide staff with direction.
Background: Since 2006, the City has prioritized the design and construction of sidewalks citywide. The original areas were in the proximity of schools, especially elementary schools to provide a safe route to school for children. Curtis Street is on the 10-year Sidewalk Master Plan list approved by the City Council. The City has received funding through the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a Local Agency Program (LAP) Grant to construct sidewalks.
An E-Bid was issued on September 17, 2021 to 1,402 potential suppliers. There were 32 plan holders with 6 proposals being received on October 26, 2021. All proposals were deemed responsive.
Issues/Analysis: Staff has reviewed the proposals and finds that Heavy Civil, Inc. provides the lowest responsive responsible bid. This project is funded by FDOT through a LAP agreement which requires the bid be awarded to the lowest responsive responsible bidder. Heavy Civil, Inc. is not a local vendor.
Financial Information: Majority of funds ($325,396.00) are provided by FDOT in a LAP grant and the remainder ($28,198.05) are appropriated in the FY 2022 budget for the Road & Bridge Fund / Road & Street Division / Improvements O/T Building / Sidewalks (#304-4105-563000-Y1420).
Special Consideration: The FDOT LAP grant provides for reimbursement for the construction of this project.
Location of Project: NW Curtis Street from NW Prima Vista Blvd. to NW Floresta Dr.
