AGENDA MEMO
BACKGROUND
During the year the department
requires stone to be used for various Public Works projects, such as water main
breaks, valve and hydrant replacements, road shouldering, storm sewer and
ditching projects. The proposed
resolution would allow the proposed vendor to provide the City of
Staff had received four (4) competitive quotes for the stone and delivery. The department primarily uses CA6 and CA7 stone which Salce Inc provided the lowest quote. The PGE is a heavier stone utilized for bank stabilization and was included within the quote for very limited low volume applications. See Attachment A. Since the department primarily utilizes CA6 and CA7 stone, Staff recommends the quote to be awarded to Salce Inc. The request for quotes stipulated that pricing be held in place from May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011.
The expenditure would come from the Street, Water and Capital accounts, depending on the specific project requiring semis of stone. The total estimated costs for all maintenance and budgetary programs requiring stone are pending Capital Project budget approval.
