Kirksville awards multiple bids for drainage, asphalt and concrete street repairs
Summary
The council awarded contracts for street drainage, asphalt mill-and-overlay and concrete slab repairs. Staff said the projects include curb-and-gutter work, ADA ramp adjustments, milling of some concrete streets and full‑depth slab repairs; one asphalt contract received a single local bidder.
The Kirksville City Council approved multiple contract awards covering street drainage, asphalt work and concrete slab repairs as part of the city’s 2025 street program.
Public Works Director Adam Dorril told the council the drainage contract with Stanton Contracting LLC covers curb‑and‑gutter work to support full‑depth concrete street replacements, including elevation adjustments, limited stormwater work and any required ADA ramps. Dorril said curb and gutter work supports later removal of old pavement and repaving.
The council also awarded an asphalt contract to W. L. Miller Company of Hamilton, Illinois, for milling and overlay work. Staff said the city received a single bidder for asphalt work but noted W. L. Miller has performed satisfactorily for the city in the past. Dorril described a pilot program to mill and overlay certain concrete streets — including sections in Kings Ridge subdivision and Weatherstone — to allow the city to test a faster approach for transitioning some concrete streets to asphalt.
A separate contract for 2025 concrete slab repairs was awarded to Stanton Contracting LLC. Staff said that contract covers full‑depth slab repair work on North New Street and in a neighborhood that includes Veil and Pheasant, with three bidders on that procurement and a low bid substantially below the high bid (range cited in staff comments as roughly $297,000 to $502,000).
Council members asked about bid variance and the participation of out‑of‑town contractors; staff said some bidders were located farther away, likely accounting for the price differences through mobilization and travel costs. No members of the public spoke on the projects. The council approved all awards and wished staff luck as the season’s work proceeds.
