Council awards Outlet Center Drive resurfacing contract to S.T. Wooten for $875,511
Summary
Council approved a contract with S.T. Wooten to mill, patch and resurface 1.1 miles of Outlet Center Drive; work to DOT specs and town inspection, paid from fund balance and expected before the fiscal year end.
The Town of Smithfield Council approved awarding a resurfacing contract for Outlet Center Drive to S.T. Wooten Corporation on May 6. Staff described a 1.1-mile segment that requires milling, patching and resurfacing; the work will be performed to DOT specifications, include erosion control measures and bore/soil testing at intervals.
Public Works staff solicited bids from multiple contractors; S.T. Wooten’s low bid of $875,511 was the recommended award. Staff told the council the contractor anticipated beginning work quickly and that the town emphasized completing the project before the end of the fiscal year. The town will inspect work daily and maintain project documentation for future paving plans.
Council confirmed the project will be paid from the town’s fund balance (noted by staff during the discussion). Staff said the contract’s scope includes milling, localized repairs to failing travel lanes and shoulder restoration; soil testing every 1,000 feet was added to the scope to confirm subgrade conditions. Council voted to award the contract and directed staff to proceed with scheduling and oversight.
