Additional Backup Information:
The contract will provide a supply of decomposed granite gravel for surfacing materials on numerous projects. Due to its porous composition, decomposed granite allows for natural drainage and stormwater infiltration, making it an excellent alternative to impervious walking surfaces.
The contract replaces a contract expiring on September 14, 2026. Requested authorization is based on historical spending and departmental estimates of future needs. The recommended contractor is not the current provider for these goods.
If a contract is not secured, the department would be unable to adequately fulfill its service obligations related to the maintenance and upkeep of citywide trail systems, resulting in deteriorating conditions, increased public complaints, and a substantial backlog of maintenance work orders.
