Council approved the city manager's authority to award the annual street resurfacing contract to Asphalt Paving Systems Inc., funding about 10 roads with double microsurfacing and one mill-and-pave road; budgeted at $600,000 and bid came in at $599,543.91.
The City Council authorized the city manager to award the annual street resurfacing contract to Asphalt Paving Systems Inc. under a Sumter County piggyback, with budgeted funds of $600,000 and a bid total of $599,543.91.
Public Works Director Mark Picariello said the program covers 10 roads to receive double microsurfacing and one road that requires mill-and-pave treatment because of its condition. The city expects to piggyback the Sumter County contract and continue its nine-year relationship with the contractor. Councilmember Frampus asked why Henry Avenue did not appear on the resurfacing list; city staff and the city manager said Henry requires a separate, larger rehabilitation project that will be presented to the council and noted a $2 million budget item for Henry Avenue work this year.
Councilmember Frampus moved to award the contract and Councilmember Gaylord seconded. The council voted 7-0 to authorize the city manager to execute the contract as written.
