Council awards citywide slurry‑seal contract to Eagle Paving for $906,350; authorizes $100,000 in contingency
Summary
The council awarded a construction contract to Eagle Paving LLC for the citywide slurry seal and roadway maintenance program (2025) for $906,350, authorized change orders up to $100,000, and said staff will select project sections from the priority list; the low bid came in about 12% under the engineer's estimate.
Santee City Council awarded a construction contract to Eagle Paving LLC for the citywide slurry‑seal and roadway maintenance program, accepting the lowest responsive bid of $906,350 and authorizing contract change orders in an amount not to exceed $100,000. Staff told the council two bids were received and that the low bid was about 12 percent under the engineer’s estimate of $1,017,000.
Staff explained the work is part of the city’s annual pavement‑preservation strategy and noted that the program removes failed pavement sections for repair prior to applying slurry seal; staff said full reconstruction would cost two to four times more than the slurry strategy. The recommended work includes roughly two streets this cycle: a long, patch‑intensive section of Fiena Drive and a small unfinished section of Cuyamaca Street under State Route 52 that was delayed by permitting last season.
Council members asked whether failed sections would be cut out and repaved (not just slurried); staff confirmed structural failures and inadequate sections would be removed and patched or reconstructed as necessary before the slurry application. Staff will pick specific neighborhoods from the city’s previously prepared priority list once the contract starts and noted construction is timed for summer months.
The council approved the award and contingency authorization; staff will return with implementation scheduling and neighborhood notices prior to construction.
