Glocester awards full-depth pavement reclamation contract to Murray Paving
Summary
The council approved awarding IFB 2025-02 for full-depth pavement reclamation to Murray Paving and Reclamation after the Board of Contracts recommended the award; the bid price and rationale were summarized by public works staff.
The Glocester Town Council voted to award IFB 2025-02, full-depth pavement reclamation, to Murray Paving and Reclamation following a Board of Contracts and Purchases recommendation.
Public Works Director Gary S. Tremmel submitted a memo noting the April 15 bid opening produced three bids. The bid recommended for award, Murray Paving and Reclamation, was listed in the record with a unit price of $2.62 per square yard and a calcium treatment line item that produced a stated total of $3.37 per square yard for the combined work. Staff cited Murray's long history of performing work for the town since February 2011, their coordination with Peckham Industries (the town’s paving contractor), and satisfactory grading results as reasons for the recommendation.
Finance Director Elizabeth A. Beltram’s memo documenting the Board of Contracts’ recommendation was entered into the record. A councilor moved to award the contract at the recorded bid price; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
The council did not discuss alternate bidders in detail at the vote, and no additional appropriation was recorded at the meeting. The contract award follows the town’s public bidding process and the Board of Contracts’ recommendation to the council.
