Raymore awards $1.39 million contract for 2025 street preservation; staff to return with detailed lane-mile plan
Summary
The council approved a $1,393,180 contract with Phillips Paving Co. for the 2025 street preservation program and directed staff to provide lane-mile specifics and recommendations for additional roads if funds remain
The Raymore City Council on April 28 voted to award the 2025 street preservation contract to Phillips Paving Company, Inc., in the amount of $1,393,180 and authorized the city manager to approve change orders within established budget constraints.
Public Works staff reported Phillips Paving was the lowest responsive bidder. Mr. Salisbury said crews had previously used the contractor and that staff expects the firm to begin work after ordinance approval. Councilmember Baker asked how many lane miles the contract would cover; Salisbury said he did not have an exact figure at the meeting and estimated "10 to 12 miles" but promised to provide the precise lane-mile estimate to council.
City Manager Fearborn said the city has set aside $350,000 of the street preservation budget for possible major repairs on 58 Highway, where staff continue to patch more than 100 potholes per week. He told council that the favorable bids and reserved funds should allow the city to address additional roads; staff will return to a future work session with recommendations for any extra funds.
The first reading of the ordinance awarding the work passed by unanimous roll call (8-0). Work sequencing will follow curb projects already underway so new pavement can be integrated with those improvements.
Next steps: Staff will report back with exact lane-mile numbers and recommendations for additional streets if the bid savings permit expansion of the program.
