Body
BACKGROUND: TYPE II barricades are used by the Street and Storm Water Maintenance programs to establish work zone safety during construction and maintenance projects. A typical Type II barricade is shown on the attached photograph. Federal and State statutes and City ordinances require work zone traffic control.
DISCUSSION: Bid No. 1415-10 was opened on September 18, 2014, with one (1) vendor bid received. Other vendors report that they are either too busy or that this contract is not large enough to warrant their bid. Street Division utilizes 200 barricades per month. There are only three (3) companies in the local area which rent barricades. All vendors were invited to bid with Advanced Workzone Services, LLC, being the only bidder. During emergencies created by flooding or storm damage from high wind, additional barricades are sometimes needed until the flooding subsides or the damage is removed or repaired. The bid includes repair or replacement of the barricades should they become damaged or unserviceable as well as replacement of stolen barricades. 50-60% of the barricades are damaged and un-serviceable or are stolen on an average year. Current funding is sufficient for twelve (12) monthly rental periods with a balance of $3,600 for emergency barricade rental if required. If approved, the contract for rental of TYPE II barricades will be effective through October 31, 2015. Funding for Type II barricade rental is provided in General Fund accounts for regular maintenance and operation. The price for barricade rental is the same amount as last year.
The following street Barricade Rental accounts provide funding for barricades:
