Council awards 2025 pavement maintenance contract; S2 Paving low bidder

The Sandy City Council on July 21 accepted a low bid from S2 Paving to perform the city’s 2025 pavement maintenance program, awarding the contract at a price below the engineered budget.

Public works staff described a package of slurry seal for residential streets (about 28,000 square yards) and targeted grind‑and‑inlay paving (about 3,000 square yards) for arterial sections and heavily worn locations. Notable items include work on 360th between the prior paved segments and Highway 26, a rough section on Champion by the ARCO, and Miner Road between Proctor and Pioneer. The package also includes upgrades to signal vehicle detection at a Miner/26 intersection.

Why it matters: Maintaining pavement condition reduces long‑term reconstruction costs. Staff said the city has a goal to return the Pavement Management Index toward 80 and will consider additional paving later in the biennium if contingency funds allow.

Contract and funding: The low bid reported was $518,766 (S2 Paving). Council accepted the bid and authorized staff to execute the contract and proceed with construction. Staff said remaining contingency will be held for possible spot repairs or to expand the program in a later phase.

Next steps: Staff will post maps and public notices about construction locations and timelines and will return to council with any proposal to expand pavement work during the current biennium.
