Conclusion
Staff is recommending awarding the construction contract to the lowest
responsible bidder, GMH Asphalt in the amount of $589,410.19.
ISSUES: This is the second pavement overlay project that will be completed under
the revised City Assessment Policy.
Per the Assessment Policy (fee schedule), the assessment rate in 2018 for
street overlay project is $1,200 for single family and $960 for multifamily
(0.8 X $1,200). Commercial and industrial parcels are assessed based on
the Residential Equivalent Density (RED). The assessment rate will be
adjusted annually with an escalator based on the Construction Cost Index
(CCI). The assessment period is over 5-years.
Based on the age of the City’s existing streets, the City is entering a time
period where more streets are in need of timely mill and overlay projects to
extend their useful lives. The previous method of funding these projects
put pressure on the tax levy. Utilizing special assessments and the PIR
Fund for overlay projects allows the City to complete four miles of street
mill and overlay projects annually as compared to two miles completed in
prior year.
FINANCIAL
IMPACT:
The 2018 Mill and Overlay Project is proposed to be financed by Special
Assessments and a transfer from the General Fund to the Permanent
Revolving (PIR) Fund. Based on the low bid of $589,410.19 and proposed
special assessments of $482,306.40 the remaining balance of $107,103.79
will come from the General Fund transfer. The approved 2018 Capital
Improvement Program and Budget contemplated $650,000 in the newly
created PIR Fund for this project.
3
General Fund Transfer $107,103.79
Assessments $482,306.40
Total $589,410.19
The overlay project will have an annual tax impact of $150,000 - $210,000.
This is the amount that was levied in the General Fund Streets department
in prior years. The PIR Fund allows the City more flexible use of revenues
from special assessments. For the City’s annual street mill and overlay
projects financed with PIR Bonds the revenues can be used for any
authorized purpose of the PIR Fund. For example, special assessments
collected from a previous improvement could be used to provide upfront
funding for future improvements.
PIR Fund Bonds are secured by revenues of the Fund and not solely by
the special assessments of the financed improvements. It is anticipated
that over time the fund will be self-sustaining. Until we develop special
assessment prepayment history, we anticipate that the City will bond for
the special assessment portion, levy or transfer funds for a portion of the
costs and fund the remainder with prepayments of special assessments
collected from prior year(s) improvements.

Contract with GMH Asphalt Corporation for the 2018 Street Overlay
Project and concrete repairs.
