Huntsville waives second reading, awards $2.36 million road contract to Larry Young Paving
Summary
The council waived the second‑reading requirement and authorized the city manager to award a $2,361,592 contract to Larry Young Paving for street milling, overlay, reconstruction and thermoplastic pavement striping; council cited timing to avoid rolling funds into the next fiscal year.
The Huntsville City Council on May 6 voted to waive the second‑reading requirement and authorized the city manager to award the contract for street milling, overlay, street reconstruction and thermoplastic pavement striping to Larry Young Paving for $2,361,592.
City staff asked the council to waive the second reading so work could begin promptly and contractors could finish by Oct. 1, avoiding the need to roll remaining funds into the next fiscal year. Council members confirmed there were three bids submitted for the work before approving the award.
A motion to waive the second reading and award the contract was moved and seconded; the council approved it by unanimous voice vote. Council recorded appreciation for Public Works staff coordinating the procurement and for the expediency that the waiver enabled.
The contract award directs staff to proceed with contractor selection and project scheduling; further administrative steps will follow the city’s procurement rules and contract execution procedures.
