PURPOSE:
Approval of a Construction Contract with Fasick Concrete, Inc for the 2026 Miscellaneous Concrete Project
LONG-TERM OUTCOME(S) SERVED:
High-Quality Governance; Safe Community
DISCUSSION:
The City of Littleton's Public Works Department manages and implements a Pavement Management Program that includes performing concrete repairs before street surface sealing or resurfacing projects. Replacing concrete ahead of these preservation efforts provides high value by enhancing drainage, creating a stable edge for sealing or paving, and ultimately increasing the effectiveness of roadway preservation projects. For larger citywide pavement preservation projects, including this construction contract, the city procures contractor services to augment city equipment and staff resources.
On March 25, 2026, the city advertised the 2026 Miscellaneous Concrete Project, City Project No. 25-05. Proposals were opened on April 27, 2026. Seven proposals were submitted. After reviewing submissions, staff determined that Fasick Concrete, Inc submitted the best proposal, based upon evaluation criteria for experience, approach, schedule, and pricing. This contract amount is within the 2026 Capital Improvement budget. Based on our past experience with Fasick Concrete, Inc, they are qualified to complete this work.
The 2026 Miscellaneous Concrete Project will repair concrete on the streets identified for the 2026 Surface Sealing Project and 2026 Mill and Overlay Project. Refer to the map attached to this package.
If Council approves this resolution, it is anticipated that the work will commence in late spring of 2026, with anticipated completion in summer of 2026 and at the bid proposal amount outlined in the Bid Tabulation Sheet.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Littleton has approximately 360 lanes miles of streets within the community’s transportation network. The Public Works Department is responsible for the preservation and maintenance of streets throughout the community, including concrete curbs and gutters adjacent to the streets. The Public Works Department’s 2026 Pavement Management Program includes crack repairs, miscellaneous concrete repairs, high quality patching, mill and overlay, and street reconstruction on various streets throughout the city.
The Engineering Division of Public Works uses condition ratings and specific preservation and rehabilitation practices to preserve the condition of Littleton’s roadways and extend the useful life of the pavement. Engineering staff assesses the condition of each roadway segment and assigns a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) rating ranging from 0 to 100 (Figure 1). A PCI of 100 corresponds to a new road, a PCI rating of 0 means the pavement has completely failed. The PCI rating drops over time as pavements deteriorate from use and environmental factors. The rate of degradation begins slowly and increases rapidly after a few years. As such, pavement preservation early in a street’s lifecycle is critical to preserve the pavement quality and reduce costly rehabilitation or reconstruction.
The Engineering Division manages the Pavement Management Program with the goal to keep Littleton’s streets at a PCI of 75 or higher. Currently, the average PCI across the street network is 62. The pavement management strategy focuses on identifying the correct preservation treatment, and applying it at the right time, to extend the life of the pavement. This holistic program approach effectively preserves the pavement network through leveraging low-cost preservation techniques to limit future reconstructions and provides the most value from the funding available for pavement management.
Figure 1:
Concrete curbs and gutters protect the roadway from water getting underneath the pavement; water can soften the subgrade and cause failures of the pavement above. Maintaining the concrete curbs and gutters adjacent to the pavement is a best practice for preserving the asphalt surfaces, as well as protecting the financial investment of the preservation treatments. The 2026 Miscellaneous Concrete Project will repair concrete in several of the areas identified for pavement preservation in 2026 as shown in the attached map. Various areas have been repaired during a prior Miscellaneous Concrete Project.
Prior Actions or Discussions
Presentation to City Council regarding Capital Improvements (CIP) update: Supporting 2-3 Year Initiatives, on February 7, 2026.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
The proposed construction contract with Fasick Concrete, Inc cost for the 2026 Miscellaneous Concrete project is $1,350,437.00. This project will be funded by the Capital Projects Fund.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the Construction Contract.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this construction contract for concrete repair is not approved, the concrete repairs will not be performed in advance of the pavement preservation treatments. The concrete will continue to deteriorate, potentially degrading the existing pavement and future surface seal, and overlays. Future repair costs would likely be greater due to inflation and increased construction costs.
PROPOSED MOTION:
Proposed Motion
I move to approve Resolution 34-2026 approving a construction contract with Fasick Concrete, Inc for the 2026 Miscellaneous Concrete Project, City Project No. 25-05.
