Springville council awards street‑paving contract, debates change order and speed breakers
Summary
The Springville City Council voted to award a paving contract for a list of local streets and discussed possible 10% change orders, speed breaker options and an estimated total cost of about $150,000.
The Springville City Council voted to award a public‑streets paving contract under Resolution 2025‑27 and approved a list of streets to be paved, after a councilmember said the bids covered specific segments of town.
The motion to approve Resolution 2025‑27 awarding the paving bid was made by the gentleman from District 1 and seconded by the gentleman from District 5. After some discussion about whether the bid covered all work and how to handle localized repairs, the council took a voice vote; the ayes carried and the resolution passed.
Council discussion focused on two implementation issues. One councilmember raised concern about two low spots on a truck route that have “sunk in” and said those sections may need to be cut out and patched rather than a surface overlay. That speaker proposed adding a 10% change‑order allowance to the contract to cover such contingencies during construction. A different councilmember said a change order could be approved later and does not have to be included in the award motion.
The council also discussed adding two speed breakers noted in the bid discussion, and evaluating an alternative style of prefabricated speed breaker that one councilmember said "look[s] better" and may have lower upkeep than asphalt‑built humps. Councilmembers agreed to seek prices for the alternative devices but did not add them to Resolution 2025‑27.
The paving list presented in the meeting included: Aderholt Street from Highway 11 to Spring Street; Aderholt Street from Spring Street to Villa Road; Villa Road from County Road 9 to Grove Street; Mountain Drive; McGinnis Street; George Street; and Camp Road.
A councilmember estimated the total project cost would be closer to $150,000 when city‑purchased asphalt and hauling are included. That member said the city buys the asphalt and the bid covers hauling and placement. The council did not provide a detailed, line‑item breakdown during the meeting.
Votes recorded in the meeting were by voice; no roll‑call tallies were given on the record. The council approved Resolution 2025‑27 by voice vote.
The council directed staff to pursue any necessary change orders and to return with pricing for the prefabricated speed breakers and any required change‑order approvals. The council also discussed timing and who would be assigned to approve any on‑site adjustments during the paving work.
The council moved on after the vote to other agenda items.
