SUMMARY:
On September 17, 2020, Council approved the use of thirteen firms to serve as construction managers for the City under RFQ 40-20 and Keystone Excavators, Inc. was selected as one of the approved firms.
The Long Center is the busiest recreation center within the City and is the home of UPARC, the Aging Well Center, Clearwater Aquatics Team, Clearwater for Youth and the Limitless Playground. The Long Center is open seven days a week and in addition to meeting the recreational needs of our residents, it annually plays hosts to numerous tournaments, swim meets, rentals and special events.
Due to heavy use of this facility over the past thirty years, it is now time to improve and resurface all the existing asphalt parking lots, driveways, and roads at the facility.
Keystone Excavators, Inc., will provide milling and resurfacing of all existing asphalt pavement, replacement of damaged curbs, replacement of all road and parking signs, pavement markings and replacement of speed bumps.
The scope of the Long Center Parking Improvement Project, (C1902) originally included expanding the parking lot into the grass playing areas but after extensive evaluation, staff is recommending that the playing areas remain as they are and that the improvements be for the existing asphalt surfaces.
This is a sixty-day contract, but if weather cooperates can be completed within thirty days. A Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) will be developed so that the Long Center can remain open during construction.
Keystone Excavators, Inc., provided a guaranteed maximum price of $491,519.16 which includes a 10% contingency.
APPROPRIATION CODE AND AMOUNT:
Funds are available for this project in the “Long Center Parking Improvement Project” (C1902)
