BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
City Council approved $99 million in the FY 2018 Budget to complete both in-house and contract street maintenance projects. This was an increase of funding in the amount of $35M above the $64M provided the previous two fiscal years for street maintenance. This will provide for approximately an additional 50 miles of street rehabilitation upon the completion of the FY 2018 Street Maintenance Program.
Transportation & Capital Improvements (TCI) began construction of the FY 2018 Street Maintenance Program utilizing previously awarded contract that still had available capacity for projects.
This proposed ordinance authorizes contract capacity in the amount of $12,224,169.90 for the construction of FY 2018 street maintenance projects. Additional contracts are scheduled to be awarded at a later date for the remaining Street Maintenance Program.
Procurement of Services
A. Package 1 was advertised for construction bids in August 2017 in the San Antonio Hart Beat, on the City’s website, on the Texas Electronic State Business Daily and on TVSA. Bids for Packages 1 were due on September 19, 2017 with 8 bids received. Clark Construction of Texas, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder.
B. Package 2 was advertised for construction bids in August 2017 in the San Antonio Hart Beat, on the City’s website, on the Texas Electronic State Business Daily and on TVSA. Bids for Packages 2 were due on September 19, 2017 with 10 bids received. Clark Construction of Texas, Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder.
These contracts will be awarded in compliance with the Small Business Economic Development Advocacy (SBEDA) Program which requires contracts be reviewed by a Goal Setting Committee to establish a requirement and/or incentive unique to the particular contract in an effort to maximize the amount of small, minority, and women-owned business participation on the contract. The Goal Setting Committee set a 4% Minority/Women Business Enterprise (M/WBE) subcontracting goal and 1% African American Business Enterprise (AABE) subcontracting goal for each contract. Clark Construction of Texas, Inc. has committed to meeting the goals.

This ordinance for the 2018 Asphalt Overlay Contract Package 1 accepts the lowest responsive bid and awards a contract to Clark Construction of Texas, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $7,353,255.60, of which $301,500.00 will be reimbursed by San Antonio Water System (SAWS) and $40,000.00 will be reimbursed by CPS Energy for necessary adjustments to existing infrastructure.

These Asphalt Overlay contracts in the cumulative amount of $12,224,169.90 will facilitate the rehabilitation of approximately 26 miles of the roadway network city wide.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could choose not to award this contract and request staff to re-bid this package; however, re-bidding would delay the delivery of the FY 2018 Street Maintenance Program and would result in a portion of the street maintenance projects not being completed as programmed.
