Noble Company the resurfacing of the OASIS Parking Lot West and Fifth Avenue contract? RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Approve the project drawings and specifications. 2. Award Contract No. 4524 to R.J. Noble Company for the Total Bid Price of $149,924.50, and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract. 3. Establish an amount of $15,000.00 (10 %), to cover the cost of unforeseen work. DISCUSSION: As the new OASIS Senior Center Facility nears completion and is expected to open in early October 2010, staff has been busy coordinating related work such as the FF &E purchases for the new facility, addressing adjacent site work and dismantling and removing the temporary staff trailer complex. As part of this work, staff has been planning the reconstruction of the OASIS parking lot west of the facility on 5th Street as the parking lot pavement is in poor shape. Our plan is to schedule this rehabilitation work in the short window between staff moving out of their temporary facilities located in the parking lot, and the opening of the new facility. We also need to rehabilitate a short pavement section on 5th street in front of the new facility. This work will be completed in conjunction with the parking lot paving work.
