Subject:
Consider approving a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a Construction Services Contract in
the amount of $246,800.00 with Stoic Civil Construction, Inc. for the Overlook Court Stream Bank Protection
Project. (Hartline)
Suggested Action:
Summary of Request:
Consider approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a Construction Services Contract in the
amount of $246,800.00 with Stoic Civil Construction, Inc. for the Overlook Court Stream Bank Protection
Project.
Background:
City Council approved funding for the construction of the Overlook Court Stream Bank Protection Project in the
2019-2020 CIP budget.
During a recent walking inspection of Office Creek by city staff, significant erosion problems were observed at
one end of an existing Gabion Basket Retaining Wall adjacent to Overlook Court that was originally installed
approximately 17 years ago. If not addressed, these erosion problems could lead to a significant slope failure
that could cause damage to an adjacent city-owned wastewater lift station, a portion of Overlook Drive and/or a
portion of a homeowner’s property. See attached photos showing the area of destabilized soils at the end of the
existing retaining wall near the lift station, roadway and residential home.
The scope of work for this project consists of extending the retaining wall along the stream embankment
adjacent to the Lift Station, Overlook Court and the residential home to protect these areas. The work includes
mobilization, excavation, foundation installation and Gabion Wall construction with a typical exposed wall height
of 15 feet.
The project bids were opened on May 6, 2020 and the low bidder was Stoic Civil Construction, Inc. at a cost of
$246,800.00. This Contractor was pre-qualified by both the Project Design Engineer (Cobb Fendley) and the
City. Cobb Fendley verified the bid summary and bid tabulation and recommends approval of the contract with
this company.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of a Construction Services Contract for the Overlook Court Stream Bank
Protection Project with Stoic Civil Construction, Inc. With approval, the project is anticipated to start
construction in August 2020 with an estimated completion in January 2021.
Suggested motion:

I move to recommend approval of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign a Construction Services
Contract in the amount of $246,800.00 with Stoic Civil Construction, Inc. for the Overlook Court Stream Bank
Protection Project.
