Council approves $1.49 million contract for 2025 mill and overlay project
Summary
The Minnetonka City Council awarded a $1,494,727.75 contract to GMH Asphalt Corporation for the 2025 mill and overlay pavement project and authorized the city engineer to expend funds up to the project budget.
The Minnetonka City Council on May 5 unanimously approved a contract to resurface several city streets as part of its 2025 mill and overlay program.
The City awarded the contract for the 2025 mill and overlay project to GMH Asphalt Corporation for $1,494,727.75 and authorized the city engineer to expend project funds without further council approval provided total project costs do not exceed the project budget of $1,780,000.
Why it matters: The work is part of Minnetonka’s pavement management program and is intended to extend street life and improve road surface quality on streets including portions of Bren Road East and Red Circle Drive, with some work deferred until 2026 because of other construction in the Opus area.
