Committee forwards $761,534 milling-and-paving contract to full council
Summary
The Huntington Public Works Committee voted June 9 to forward a contract with BTI of Canova, W.Va., for asphalt milling and paving—up to $761,534.30—from the city street paving budget to full council with a favorable recommendation.
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — The Huntington Public Works Committee on June 9 voted to forward a resolution authorizing the mayor to enter into a contract with BTI of Canova, West Virginia, to provide asphalt milling and paving services for an amount not to exceed $761,534.30.
Mark Bates, Huntington public works director, said the contract is also based on a State of West Virginia purchasing contract and will be paid from the public works street paving budget. He presented condition-assessment maps from the city's roadway management software showing some streets with low condition-index scores that require mill-and-fill rather than microsurfacing.
Bates highlighted Charleston Avenue near 20th Street as an example of a corridor in poor condition that "was not in good enough shape to do any type of microservicing. It has to be a mill and fill." He invited committee members to review the pavement-management software by appointment with staff and department data analyst Mister Lemley.
Committee members voted by voice to forward the resolution to full council with a favorable recommendation. Miss Walling agreed to sponsor the item when it reaches council.
Bates told the committee the department believes the mix of microsurfacing and targeted mill-and-fill work allows the city to stretch paving dollars while addressing the worst streets first.
