Council approves amendment to asphalt program to include Fairmount alternate; additional cost discussed
Summary
Council authorized an amendment to the previously approved asphalt program to permit an alternate scope that would expand work on Fairmount Boulevard; staff recorded an additional alternate cost of about $101,003.50 and referenced a revised total authorization (recorded on the record as a figure that was somewhat garbled).
The Pepper Pike City Council on May 27 approved an amendment to a previously authorized asphalt program to permit an alternate scope of work that would expand resurfacing on Fairmount Boulevard.
City engineering staff explained the alternate would clean up the intersection on Fairmount heading south by Kersdale and extend the project area; the additional scope was discussed as costing roughly $101,003.50 for those alternate items. Staff and council members agreed the contractor remained the low bidder and that proceeding with the alternate made sense if the price was acceptable.
On the record, the council authorized an overall spending amendment; the recorded total amount read during the meeting was difficult to parse in the transcript (the phrase was recorded as "to authorize the spend to $1,000,002.75 $6.75" on the public audio). Councilmembers clarified the alternate scope and noted the work would be performed using a typical mill-and-fill process with lane-by-lane restoration and expected limited disruption during daily operations.
Council voted to approve the amendment and to proceed with the additional Fairmount work if bids and scheduling align with the engineer’s recommendations.
