**As of February 2, 2024, This project has not yet been awarded. A timeline for award has not yet been established.** SCOPE OF WORK. The Contractor shall provide all materials, equipment, labor and supervision for concrete cutting, trip hazard removal, maintenance, repair, and all other associated services. Work shall be performed at various locations in the Town of Garner. the Town of Garner ("Town") invites submittals of bids for the Sidewalk Cutting Project. The project will be awarded if pricing is within anticipated funding availability. The Town will release work by providing the Contractor with a list of locations that need to be addressed, at which time the Contractor is to deploy, measure and address the items identified. These areas will be confirmed and overseen by a Town representative as part of the performance of work. The services shall include, but are not limited to: Upon request from the Town, evaluate the areas designated to classify the number and location of trip hazards according to the Town's specification; typically, these hazard classes are: o Least SEVERE =.25 to .5 inches o SEVERE =.5 to 1inch o MOST SEVERE =1 to 2.5 inches Eliminate Trip Hazards (Vertical Height Displacements). Repair all sidewalk trip hazards from 1/4" to 2.5" in height in designated work areas. Hazards will be completely removed using horizontal cutting from one end of the raised sidewalk joint to the other, where applicable (edge-to-edge), including flush to an abutting obstacle such as a retaining wall leaving a zero point of differential between and without causing damage to adjacent sidewalks panels. No type of "fill" material that deteriorates or breaks apart over time will be used for mitigation of trip hazards (i.e., asphalt, concrete, polymers, etc.). Slab replacement, slab jacking and grinding shall not be acceptable alternates. No heavy equipment such as tractors, ski steer loaders, backhoes, etc. shall be used. Water-cooling is not allowed as it creates slurry contaminants that reach catch basins. No damage will be caused to landscaping, retaining walls, curbs, sprinkler heads, utility covers, or other objects adjacent to sidewalks. If damage is caused to the above, the Contractor will notify the Town immediately and the Contractor will repair the damages at the Contractor's expense within 48 hours of the time the damage occurred. A dust containment system that minimizes dust and prevents debris run-off into storm drains will be employed per OSHA guidelines. All debris will be immediately and completely cleaned up after each hazard is repaired. Hazard repairs will be free of ridges or grooves that could hold water and prevent drainage of rain or irrigation. The slope of all repairs will be at an ADA compliant slope of 1:12, precisely as specified by the Town. Repaired surfaces will have a coefficient of friction that exceeds OSHA slip resistance standards subject to verification by Town engineer/inspector. Refer to OSHA handbook for standards. Submit daily, weekly, or periodic summary of itemized hazards evaluated and repaired via email to the Project Coordinator. The summary shall be reported in inch feet; an inch foot is equal to the average height of a hazard, multiplied by the width of the hazard. Example: If a raised sidewalk panel has a height differential on one side of 1"and tapered to 0" on the other side of a full 4-foot width sidewalk, it would be calculated as follows: o ((1" + 0) / 2) x 4' = 2-inch feet o 2-inch feet x Price per Inch Foot = Price per repair. The submitted summary will include, but is not limited to: o Physical location (address) of each repair [latitude /longitude reading if possible] o Before and after pictures of each repair for inspection and audit purposes, o After picture will include slope verification, o Itemized cost for each repaired hazard, o the specific hazard height --both the high side and the low side measurement in 8ths of an inch, o Total width of the actual repair in feet or inches, o The "inch foot" calculation for the repaired surface area, o Square feet repaired. From Contractor data and invoicing, the Town should be able to compile the following data for internal use: the cumulative linear feet, square feet, and height of completed repairs, the total cost per each repair, the average cost per repair, the slope of each repair, the average cost per square foot, project budget status, and daily totals from each day of trip hazard removal operations. The Town will consider such matters it considers appropriate in selecting the successful contractor. The Town reserves the right to reject, for any reason, all proposals. Evaluation criteria will include the following: The contractor's understanding of the assignment and ability to follow proposal instructions and to complete the assessments in a reasonable timeframe. The experience and qualifications of the contractor. References (provide a minimum of three account references). The lowest proposal price will not necessarily be accepted. The Town reserves the right to reject all bids, award the agreement, interview contractors, negotiate the specific terms of the agreement and make other adjustments as required in consultation with the successful contractor(s). Question Deadline 12/13/2023 at 12:00 PM ET All communications concerning this RFP should be directed to: TL Bradley, Streets Superintendent Phone: (919)772-7600 tbradley@garnernc.gov INSURANCE. The successful Bidder shall not begin work until it has given the Town evidence of all required insurance coverage (including all additional insured endorsements), a written contract has been executed, and the Town has issued a formal Notice to Proceed. CONTRACT TIME & SCHEDULE. Work will be scheduled Monday - Friday between the hours of 7:00am and 5:00pm. Contract Pricing: Contractor should anticipate completing all work before May 1, 2024. A survey of deficiencies was recently completed. This information will be provided to the contractor for the areas to be addressed. The contractor will be responsible for repairing the identified deficiencies and any other trip hazards found that can be repaired under the specifications of this contract. This contract will not provide any infill sidewalk projects, as its focus is on ADA Improvements (no mats), Horizontal Concrete Cutting and Trip Hazard Removal Services.
