Urbandale Council Approves 2013 Concrete Street Repair Program

From the City of Urbandale:

The City Council, at its February 19th meeting, approved the 2013 Concrete Street Repair Program. 

This project provides for the replacement of approximately 5,200 square yards of concrete pavement at various locations in Urbandale. 

Bids were recently solicited for the 2013 Concrete Street Repair Program. Nine companies submitted bids for this project and the low bid of TK Concrete, in the amount of $334,692.00, was approved by Council.

This bid is $41,748.00 (11.1%) less than the engineer’s estimate of $376,440.00 for the project. The cost savings can primarily be attributed to a lower than anticipated unit cost for the Full Depth PCC Patching for the project.

The 2013 Concrete Street Repair Program will provide for concrete pavement repairs at 50 locations in the City.

The streets in this program were chosen for rehabilitation based on the 2012 Street Management Report Update.

The repairs will take place on 106th Street from 104th Street to Buena Vista Court, Buena Vista Court between 104th Street and 106th Street, and New York Avenue between 104th Street and 106th Street.

It is anticipated that all of the work would be completed by September 15, 2013.
