Award of a contract to Roy Allan Slurry Seal, Inc. for an amount not to
exceed $984,292 for the construction of the 2018 Slurry Seal.
Adopt a Resolution accepting bids and awarding a contract to Roy Allan Slurry Seal, Inc. for an
amount not to exceed $984,292 for the construction of the 2018 Slurry Seal, Project No. 6001-
18SS (Project).
Executive Summary
On May 8, 2018, City Council adopted Resolution No. 2018-064 approving the plans and
specifications and authorizing advertising of the Project for construction bids. The Project was
advertised using the formal bidding procedures. Bids were received on June 19, 2018, and the
apparent low bidder was VSS International. On June 21, 2018, VSS International withdrew their
bid. The next lowest responsive and responsible bidder was Roy Allan Slurry Seal, Inc., with a
bid in the amount of $984,292. Carlsbad Municipal Code sections 3.28.080(() and
3.28.080(G)(6) require the City Council to award all formally bid contracts when the value
exceeds $175,000, and therefore the Project is subject to this requirement. Staff recommends
award of the construction contract to Roy Allan Slurry Seal, Inc.
Discussion
The Project is part of the city's ongoing Pavement Management Program (Program). Staff
typically execute two resurfacing projects annually from the Pavement Management Program;
one pavement overlay, and one slurry seal. The roadways to be resurfaced are determined by
staff's professional expertise, pavement management software, and field analysis. Resurfacing
will be accomplished by applying an asphaltic emulsion-aggregate slurry over the existing
pavement, as well as milling and patching sections of the existing pavement. The roadways, as
shown in Exhibit 2, were selected based on their current conditions and need for maintenance.
On June 19, 2018, seven sealed bids were received for the construction of the Project, as shown
on the following table:

VSS International Withdrew Bid
Staff has completed reviewing the contract documents and found that Roy Allan Slurry Seal, Inc.
is the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The city allowed apparent low bidder, VSS
International, to withdraw its bid under Public Contract Code sections 5101(a) and 5103
because of a material error in filling out its bid. Roy Allan Slurry Seal, lnc.'s bid is responsive as it
meets the requirements of the bidding documents. The bidder is also deemed responsible as
they submitted a list of similar projects to show their capability and qualification to perform the
specified work. The contract for construction contains general performance standards and
references technical specifications, which if not met, allow the city to withhold payment, and
includes a one-year warranty period.
Fiscal Analysis
There are sufficient funds available in the Program to complete the Project. Funding for the
Program consists of non-jurisdictional fees (generated from trash haulers}, Gas Tax Funds, and
TransNet-Local Funds available for drawdown from SAN DAG. Remaining funds will be used on
future pavement rehabilitation and resurfacing projects. The available funds and estimated
construction costs for the Project are shown in the following table:
