DEPARTMENT: Public Works
ORIGINATOR: Lori Ericsson
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Ken Klein 1/8/25
PURPOSE: Approval of Bid Award Recommendation PW24-0301 Swamp Creek Bridge #503 Replacement
BACKGROUND: The Department of Public Works (PW) has received federal funding to complete a bridge replacement project on Swamp Creek Bridge #503. Swamp Creek Bridge #503 carries Locust Way across Swamp Creek east of Brier. The project will replace the existing two span concrete tub girder bridge with a longer and wider single span 70 foot long prestressed concrete wide flange decked girder superstructure with cast-in-place deck supported by drilled shafts and concrete abutment shaft caps. The new bridge will provide facilities for all users including bicycles and pedestrians. Under Bid PW24-0301, Johansen Construction Company. was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The lowest responsive bid was $3,958,000.00 which is 26.84% higher than the engineers estimate of $3,120,352.50. Under SCC 3.04.165 special approval is required from Council where the bid exceeds the Engineers Estimate by more than 10%. Public Works staff have prepared a memo with their recommendations and justifications for accepting a bid that is more than 10% above the engineers estimate including approval from FHWA to 100% fund the fed-aid portion of the work with the increased bid amount. Approval of the Bid Award Recommendation is sought in order to continue the Swamp Creek Bridge #503 Replacement project.
