Council approved the FY 17 CIP budget with $100,000 approved for bike path rehabilitation.  This is a very important project that helps staff keep the bike path safe and enjoyable for citizen’s who use the path throughout the year.  The city’s engineering staff evaluates the Truckee River bike path regularly and has determined the area between Cottonwood Park and the McCarran Bridge are in the most need for rehabilitation.

The scope of work involves pulverization of the existing bike path, regrading, compaction, placement of 3” of new asphalt, and yellow centerline striping to maintain a 10’ wide pathway.

Three (3) quotes were received at city hall on May 25, 2017 as a result of the informal quote process.  Staff has reviewed the quotes, found no irregularities, and recommends award to the low bid submitted by Apex Grading and Paving, in the amount of $73,995, which includes a force account of $1,500.  A bid recap is provided below and a map showing the limits of construction are attached for Council’s review.

• Apex Grading and Paving Inc.                      $73,995
• Spanish Springs Construction                      $94,920
• Vega Paving                                                  No Bid
