City awards five‑year asphalt and ready‑mix contracts to Campbell Ready Mix; one council recusal noted

The Lake Havasu City Council approved multi‑year cooperative purchase agreements to secure asphalt and concrete supplies, awarding both the hot‑/cold‑mix and ready‑mix contracts to Campbell Ready Mix for fiscal years 2025–2030.

Public Works presented anticipated annual usage and the procurement results. For asphalt materials staff estimated annual use of about 1,500–2,000 tons of hot mix and 1,000–1,500 tons of cold mix (annual volumes vary by patching needs). For ready‑mix concrete staff estimated 2,500–3,000 square yards per year depending on repair and new construction work.

Procurement and conflict disclosure: both items were bid for five‑year terms; Campbell Ready Mix was the apparent low/awardee. Councilmember Nancy Campbell recused from both votes (her recusal was announced on the record prior to presentation). The motions authorized routine annual expenditures to exceed the administrative threshold but limited expenditures to within departmental budget amounts and allowed staff to exercise annual renewal options for the agreement term.

Vote and implementation: motions to award both contracts passed with six councilmembers voting aye and one recusal. Staff said the cooperative multi‑year contracts improve procurement efficiency for recurring materials, allow ordering consistency, and permit annual renewals within budget constraints.

Ending: Staff will finalize agreements and implement vendor ordering under the five‑year terms, with routine budgeting and renewal authority subject to council oversight.
