A. Issue
Upon instructions from the Street Department, Purchasing advertised for bids on emulsion and street patching materials for the 2024 spring/summer repair season.
B. Background/Options
The City received four bids in response to our request. In general, three responding vendors have maintained their pricing from the previous year, and one vendor, Stark Pavement, decreased prices by $1.00 per ton for the proprietary sheet asphalt or street patching material (binder and/or surface course).
A tabulation of bid prices is attached for your consideration.
D. Fiscal Impact
Departments budget for this item annually. The impact will depend on how much they utilize. Stabilized pricing from 2023 will likely result in departments having sufficient funding for 2024 purchases.
E. Recommendation
It is the recommendation of the purchasing department to award to each of the responding vendors based upon price, convenience and availability.
