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 $35 million above the $64 million provided the previous two fiscal years for street maintenance. This will provide for approximately an additional 122 miles of street maintenance upon the completion of the FY 2018 Street Maintenance Program.
Transportation & Capital Improvements (TCI) began construction of the FY 2018 Street Maintenance Program utilizing two (2) contracts that were awarded on October 19, 2017. TCI will use $87 million of the allocated budget to deliver the street projects using contract forces. Additional contracts are scheduled to be awarded at a later date for the remaining street maintenance program. Table 1 summarizes the contracts awarded to date for this fiscal year.

Procurement of Services
A. Package 3 was advertised for construction bids in September 2017 in the San Antonio Hart Beat, on the City’s website, on the Texas Electronic State Business Daily and on TVSA. Bids for Package 3 were due on September 26, 2017 with 9 bids received. J&P Paving Co. Inc. was the lowest responsive bidder.
B. Package 4 was advertised for construction bids in September 2017 in the San Antonio Hart Beat, on the City’s website, on the Texas Electronic State Business Daily and on TVSA. Bids for Package 4 were due on October 3, 2017 with 10 bids received. H.L. Zumwalt Construction, 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. J&P Paving Co., Inc. and H.L. Zumwalt Construction, Inc. had committed to meeting the goals.
ISSUE:
A. This ordinance for the 2018 Asphalt Overlay Contract Package 3, accepting the lowest responsive bid and awarding a contract to J&P Paving Co. Inc. in an amount not to exceed $6,997,564.60, of which $232,530.00 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.

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.

The $6,725,034.60 in IMP funding for these projects may include the General Fund, Certificates of Obligation, Advanced Transportation District (ATD) Fund, ROW Penalty Funds, or other funding sources.
Requirements for each task shall be detailed in the individual work orders assigned. The City makes no minimum guarantee pertaining to the volume of work. If funding for any work activities is not previously appropriated, funding will be identified and appropriated through subsequent City Council action.

Additional contracts are scheduled to be awarded at a later date for the remaining Street Maintenance Program.
