Approval is requested for the award of a two-year contract to Andrade Trucking of San Jose for aggregate, crushed granite and sand on an "as-needed" basis for the Department of Public Works Street Maintenance Program.

Aggregate, crushed granite and sand are required by the street crews for the repair and maintenance of City streets and parking lots.

Traditionally, these products are purchased through formal competitive bids. Bidders are asked to provide a delivered price per ton for each product. An estimated cost for each product is determined by multiplying the price per ton by the number of tons required to complete the work planned during the contract term. The estimated usage for the next two years is 1,000 tons of aggregate base rock, 3,600 tons of fine crushed granite, 5,000 tons of medium crushed granite and 2,000 tons of #2 olympia sand.

Staff recommends award of contract to Andrade Trucking of San Jose, the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Andrade Trucking has furnished these materials to the City in the past, and staff has been satisfied with Andrade’s products and services.

It is anticipated that total expenditures will not exceed $337,632 for a two-year period. Funds are available in various Public Works accounts as well as several accounts associated with Public Works projects.
