Council awards Phase 3 street-improvements contract to Rayon Inc. for about $2.43 million

The Breckenridge City Council approved awarding the Phase 3 2025 street-improvement contract to Rayon Inc., the low and best bidder, at $2,433,843.60 and authorized the city manager to execute the contract documents. City engineering staff said the three phases of the paving program represent roughly $4 million of improvements across the city; phase 1 and 2 work is substantially complete and phase 3 focuses on midterm projects and streets that will be repaved after upcoming water-line work tied to TWDB projects. Quarter North (project engineer) told the council the bid estimate was $2,500,000 and three bids were received. Rayon was the low bidder at $2,430,000 and the recommended award was $2,433,843.60; Blacksmith Construction was the second-low bid. Council approved the award on a motion and second; the meeting record shows the motion passed with all in favor and no opposition. City staff said the contract will cover street resurfacing and related improvements listed in the phase 3 package; staff will return with execution documents and begin coordination with concurrent water/sewer projects to avoid redundant pavement work. No appeals or formal protests were recorded at the meeting. The council's action continues a multi-year local program of street investments funded in part by a quarter-cent sales tax reserve and other capital resources. Staff said they will present contractor mobilization and a project schedule after contract execution.
