The 2019 Asphalt Paving Program contract was awarded by Yorkton Council Monday.

鈥淚n 2018, the Broadway Street Paving Project was tendered as a two-year project to create a larger scope of work in an attempt to appeal to a larger group of potential contractors and to better promote competitive bidding,鈥� explained Director of Public Works Trent Mandzuk, with the City.

A similar practice was used for the 2019 Asphalt Paving Program tender.聽 The amount of paving for this tender is larger than historical overlay paving programs.

鈥淭he amount of paving for this tender is larger than historical overlay paving programs,鈥� added Mandzuk.

Open tenders were placed on SaskTenders and City web (page). Two applicants submitted tender packages.

The lowest tender and the one accepted by Council was from Fedorowich Construction Ltd. at $1,024,070, taxes excluded.

鈥淯nit pricing for the majority of bid items was extremely tight.聽 The price difference between the two contractors on the largest bid item was less than one per cent,鈥� said Mandzuk.

The unit price for this item is also only 2.8 per cent higher than pricing received for the 2018 Broadway Paving project.

To award the full program required Council to pre-approve the 2020 Public Works, Surfaced Streets 鈥� Contracted Services line for $560,000 鈥� (same amount budgeted for 2019) towards the contract.
