The Pecos City Council on July 24 authorized contracts for two street projects: a near-$1 million contract for an Eddy Street overlay and striping project and a separate pavement rejuvenation program for neighborhood streets. Community Services Director Holly Juraki presented both items and said they are budgeted through the city’s street-maintenance funds.\n\nFor Eddy Street (Third Street to Stafford), staff recommended a two‑inch hot‑mix Type D overlay with thermoplastic striping and two‑coat stop bars designed to extend markings several years. Juraki said the bid structure saved money by buying asphalt material separately at roughly $103 per ton versus a higher price in the contractor’s mobilized bid; staff added a 10 percent contingency to the contract estimate and said contractor Pavement Restoration Inc. and material supplier CSA Materials provided the competitive pricing. The Eddy Street package was presented with a total near $995,000 (bid components for material plus mobilization and labor) and an overall project budget available under street‑maintenance funds. Juraki said the contractor planned to start after a preconstruction meeting and that full completion should take about three weeks.\n\nSeparately, the council approved a fiscal‑year pavement rejuvenation program with Pavement Restoration Inc. at $221,951.50 to apply a protective emulsion and sand overlay to selected east‑side, north–south streets to extend pavement life; staff said the program began in 2018 and is intended to slow oxidation and add life to existing roads.\n\nCouncil members asked about traffic control, staging to minimize disruption and whether over‑purchased material would be credited back to the city; staff said they would hold a preconstruction meeting to set staging and that surplus material accounting would be clarified with the contractor. Council approved both contract resolutions in open session.
