Re: CW Roberts Roadway Improvements PO Request
The Public Works Department is requesting a Purchase order for$100,000.00 CW Roberts Contracting
Inc. for asphalt milling and paving.This is a budgeted project in the 2022-23 budget, line item 301-549-
6300 Roadway asphalt and reconstruction,$100,000.00.
The three areas that are proposed for resurfacing are:
• NE 2'Street from Parrott Avenue(US 441)to NE 2"d Avenue.There are two factors in the
selection of this road for resurfacing.The first is major areas of"pushing"just west of Parrott
Avenue. This area is identical to the section of NE 3`d Street one block to the north that was
completed last year.
• The Oaks Subdivision.—Pavement depth thorough out the subdivision is minimal.We have had
to perform frequent repairs to potholes and damage caused by trash trucks turning around at
the end of the two cul-de-sacks
• SW 7'Avenue—Areas of sliding Just North of SW 15'Street. Project will cover from SW 15'
Street to approximately 400' North of the intersection.
The pricing for this project is per the existing paving contract between Okeechobee County and CW
Roberts Contracting.We utilized this purchasing mechanism for last year's paving projects.The initial
period of the CW Roberts contract was May 1,2019 to April 30, 2022. Under the provisions of the
contract allowing(2)one year extensions,the contract has been extended until April 30, 2023.
The proposed pricing of$89,959.00 from CW Roberts is based on an estimated quantity of asphalt.
Asphalt estimating is not an exact process.The quantities are based on a uniform application of 1.25"of
asphalt over a smooth road surface. Imperfections in the existing road surface will result in the actual
quantities of asphalt used being different than the estimate. Given the inexact nature of the estimation,
we are proposing an additional 10%being added to the estimate due to the likelihood of additional
asphalt being used.The amount paid will be based on the actual amount of asphalt used, established by
load tickets for each truck of asphalt.
