Council awards contract for final phase of Miamiville Road sidewalk project

The Loveland City Council voted to award a contract to Majors Enterprises Inc. to complete Phase 3 of the Miamiville Road sidewalk project, the longest phase in a multi-year effort to extend sidewalks and replace underground infrastructure.

City Manager Dave Kennedy said the project traces to council’s post-comprehensive-plan push for neighborhood connectivity and that the final phase will add roughly 2,240 linear feet of sidewalk while also replacing water mains, installing curbs and gutters and upgrading stormwater systems. He said the work will directly connect about 40 homes to downtown, schools and churches.

Kennedy told council the low bidder, Majors Enterprises, previously completed Phase 2 and submitted a bid that was noticeably below the city’s capital-improvement program estimate and the engineer’s estimate, leaving the project under the CIP budget. He said the city recently asked Duke Energy to add street lighting in response to resident requests and will coordinate similar additions in this phase.

Council approved the contract by roll call; staff said construction timing and sequencing will be coordinated with residents and utilities and that the city will seek any additional funding required for related safe-routes-to-school work during the 2026 budget process.
