Loveland accepts low bid for 2025 road program; scope to be adjusted to $800,000 budget
Summary
Council received bid results for the 2025 annual road program and approved a resolution allowing staff to move forward with a contract using the low bidder while limiting city spending to the $800,000 budgeted scope; exact roads to be repaved will be selected after contract execution.
City staff recommended awarding the 2025 annual road program contract to JK Mirror, the low bidder, and the Loveland City Council approved a resolution on April 25 allowing the city manager to execute the contract and proceed with an up‑to‑$800,000 budgeted scope.
City Engineer Kelsey Richards reported the low bid from JK Mirror was $1,183,840; the other bidders were Naira Paving, Barrett Paving Materials, and John R. Jurgensen Company. Richards and staff explained all bids exceeded the $800,000 budget but recommended awarding to the low bidder and then selecting which line items to use so the city can stay within the budgeted total.
Staff said the annual program has reduced deferred resurfacing since 2018: approximately 65 lane miles had not been paved within 10 years in 2018; the current figure is roughly 25 lane miles not paved in the previous 10 years. Councilmembers asked what $800,000 will buy; staff said specific roads had not yet been selected and the exact lane‑mile coverage would be determined once the city and contractor review the bid line items.
Council discussed prior projects that included paving (for example, East Loveland work and Cherokee project items) and noted the city will attempt to maintain an ongoing pavement budget at or above $800,000. Staff said if the city contracts with JK Mirror for 2025, the unit prices would carry into a potential 2026 renewal at the same rates if the council chose to exercise that option.
Council adopted the resolution authorizing the contract process by roll call (resolution number not specified in the transcript) by a 7–0 vote. Staff will return to the council with the list of road sections selected for repair under the $800,000 budget once scope decisions are finalized.
