City committees recommend $600,000 contract with Seneca Stone for 2025 milling and paving project
Summary
Committees reviewed bids and recommended a $600,000 agreement with Seneca Stone Corporation for the 2025 milling and paving work after staff research found Seneca Stone the lowest bidder and an established local contractor.
The Administrative Services Committee recommended authorization for the mayor to sign a $600,000 agreement with Seneca Stone Corporation to perform the city’s 2025 milling and paving work.
A committee speaker said the bid was procured by piggybacking on Onondaga County’s asphalt bid process and that Seneca Stone — which operates plants in Seneca Falls and planned to source materials from a nearby Barrett plant — submitted the lowest proposal across the line items for milling and paving. The presenter said staff reviewed the company’s references and past work (including projects on the Thruway, university and airport) before recommending award.
Councilors discussed street-by-street selection and said the final paving list had been adjusted to avoid streets scheduled for excavation next year. After discussion, the committee voted to forward the contract authorization to the full council for final approval.
Why it matters: The contract funds the city’s 2025 road resurfacing program and will determine which streets receive paving this season; staff noted the need to coordinate with planned utility or capital projects to avoid paving roads that will be dug up soon.
Next steps: Upon council authorization, staff will publish the final paving list and initiate work scheduling with the contractor.
