MEMORANDUM
TO: City Manager .
FROM: Director Public Works
SUBJECT: Reasons for Negotiating with Dixie Asphalt Co. .for Asphalt Resurfacing
DATE: February 7, 1972
1. The last three years Dixie Asphalt Co. has quoted the City
a negotiated price of $9.80 per ton laid in place. This price
is well below that which other cities are paying from either
of the two asphalt companies in the area. For example, in
1971 Boynton Beach paid $11.40 per ton and Boca Raton paid
$12.20 per ton for small quantities comparable to the tonnage
we plan to use this year.
2. The quoted price of $9.80 is contingent upon the company
doing the paving, at their convenience and not necessarily all
at one time.
3. The streets scheduled for resurfacing are scattered in
four sections of the City which would normally increase the
cost because of the additional time lost in moving the equip-
ment, therefore, if bids were solicited, the cost per ton
would be at least $11.50.
4. It is planned to use about 1300 tons for a total cost of
approximately $12,740.00.
5. Attached is a list of streets to be resurfaced. Since it'
is not possible to determine the exact amount of asphalt to
be used, it was not deemed advisable to incorporate the list
in the Resolution. This also provides flexibility in the pro-
gram so if the tonnage used is less than estimated, it may be
possible to include some additional resurfacing.
