Request/Subject

Request to Advertise Invitation for Bids No. 080818-Gisela Road Improvements Project

Background Information

The intent of this request is to solicit for bids for a roadway improvement project for a portion of Gisela road. The proposed project would improve approximately 0.63 miles of the existing roadway west of the summit area. The proposed work consists of pulverizing the existing pavement surface and base material where applicable followed by the installation of new aggregate base material and asphaltic concrete pavement.

The existing surface of Gisela road is paved, however due to the age of the pavement, this road requires routine maintenance from County forces.

The Gila County Manager approved a contract on February 8, 2018 for Woodson Engineering to prepare plans and specifications for improvements to Gisela road.

Evaluation

Because of the age of the existing pavement, complete removal and replacement of the asphalt is the only valid option to adequately address the condition of the roadway.

The construction of a new asphalt section on Gisela road will eliminate the current need for routine maintenance by County forces and will provide a safer roadway for the traveling public.

Conclusion

It is in the best interest of Gila County to remove and replace the existing asphalt on Gisela road at this time. This will help reduce maintenance costs at this location and provide the users of this roadway an improved driving surface for years to come.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Public Works Division Director that the Board of Supervisors authorize the advertisement of Invitation for Bids No. 080818 to be published for two consecutive weeks in the Payson Roundup newspaper.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to authorize the advertisement of Invitation for Bids No. 080818-Gisela Road Improvements Project. (Steve Sanders)
