Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to enter into an agreement with NZI Construction, Inc. for road and sidewalk improvements throughout the City, utilizing a rider on Prince George’s County contract 932A-H(F)D. The agreement will be for the same terms, conditions, costs, and period of performance, including all extensions as issued by Prince George’s County, pending legal review.
end
Summary Background:
The City had historically performed right-of-way improvement project utilizing riders on contracts typically issued by Prince George’s County. The County bids road work contracts in quantities 5-10 times larger than the what the City would be able to request. These larger quantities result in the County receiving unit prices that could be up to 40-60% lower than the City would receive, allowing for more roadwork to be completed for the amount allocated. NZI has held many County contracts over the past few decades on which the City has executed riders, giving NZI extensive familiarity with the City’s infrastructure and having successfully completed a number of large City street projects. This motion authorizes the City to utilize NZI as its contractor for road and sidewalk improvements at a competitive rate. Projects will come forward to the Council for approval on an individual basis.
Next Steps:
Issue rider contract and prepare project proposals for Council review. Projects will come forward to the Council for approval on an individual basis.
Fiscal Impact:
TBD, on a per project basis.
