HomeMy WebLinkAbout4G - 1996 Joint Powers Agree. DATE: 4G VERL YN RAAEN, ENGINEERING TECHNICIAN CONSIDER APPROV AL OF 1996 JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR TRAFFIC MARKINGS, STREET SWEEPING, CRACK SEALING, AND SEAL COATING FEBRUARY 5, 1996 AGENDA #: PREP ARED BY: SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this Agenda item is to approve the Joint powers Agreement (JP A) for traffic markings, street sweeping, crack . sealing, and seal coating. The City participated in the JP A in 1995 and determined that it is very cost effective. BACKGROUND: The City of Burnsville and other south suburban communities have been participating in the above referenced JP A in past years. Upon becoming aware of the program, Prior Lake participated for the first time in 1995. This arrangement has streamlined the legal process of contracting for these services and resulted in lower cost by utilizing the combined purchasing power of several communities through the sealed bid process. DISCUSSION: The most recent year in which Prior Lake took bids on seal coating city roadways was 1993. Although the 1993 JP A bid price of $0.4325/square yard (sy) was only slightly lower than the $0.44/sy Prior Lake bid price, the 1994 and 1995 lP A prices have been very reasonable at $O.3685/sy and $0.4025/sy respectively. The JPA specifications also require a higher grade aggregate than what the City was using. Correspondingly the City is getting a better product for a similar cost. This probably resulted in some savings in 1995 over Prior Lake taking bids itself on our 1995 project. The staff time savings by not having to administer the RFP process is a distinct advantage also. Our traffic marking, street sweeping, and crack sealing projects are smaller in scope than seal coating but implementation of these is also streamlined by participation in the JP A. The City of 16200~~Creek Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ._...._,~._..~"""^',_,"'H.__._~_..__"__H.__;_.."'."-_.._------.,.....-.......>- -. .,..~"._---' ..T.......r ISSUES: We have experienced some problems on our seal coat projects involving tracking of aggregate and oil into homes especially in cul-de-sacs. Cul-de-sacs are very difficult areas of the street to get the seal coat to adhere to so that it does not become dislodged by the sharp turning movements of vehicles. Burnsville and some other municipalities do not seal coat cul-de-sacs because of repeat problems in the past. Prior Lake staff is debating whether or not to seal coat cul-de-sacs in 1996. ALTERNATIVES: The alternatives are as follows: 1. Approve entering into the JP A. 2. Deny this Agenda item for a specific reason. 3. Table this Agenda item for a specific reason. RECOMMENDATION: This JPA will streamline our contracting for certain services and probably result in a cost savings; therefore the recommendation is to enter into the agreement. The state legislature places a high priority on cities combining their talents to accomplish day to day responsibilities. This is an excellent example of this practice. ACTION REQillRED: The Mayor and City Council are requested to authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into the "Joint Powers Agreement - 1996 Traffic Markings, Sn;,eet Sweeping, Crack Sealing, and Seal Coating". .
