Council awards 2025 neighborhood and major road resurfacing contracts

The Cedar Park City Council authorized contracts April 10 for the city’s 2025 resurfacing programs, selecting Bennett Paving for the neighborhood resurfacing project and Lone Star Paving Company for the major road resurfacing project.

Engineering staff said the neighborhood resurfacing contract — funded from the 2022 bond program and annual pavement funds — covers older subdivisions whose prior surface treatments have deteriorated. Morgan Huddleston, engineering associate, said streets in subdivisions including Blue Oaks Estates, Buttercup Creek, Cardinal Estates, Cypress Mill and others are included. City staff recommended authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement with Bennett Paving in an amount not to exceed $2,202,766; council approved the award unanimously.

Chris Brickey, capital projects manager, said the major road resurfacing contract completes the major‑road portion of the 2022 bond work. Streets in that contract include New Hope Drive between Lakeline and Bell, Cedar Park Drive between Lakeline and Bell, Buttercup Creek Boulevard (Nelson Ranch Loop to Nelson Ranch Road), Brushy Creek Road (Bell Boulevard to Buffalo Avenue) and Park Street (Lakeline to Derek Drive). Lone Star Paving was the recommended contractor; council approved the contract unanimously.

Staff said resurfacing includes removal of worn asphalt, a new two‑inch asphalt lift, subgrade repairs and pavement markings; construction durations are expected to be short (neighborhood project estimated at 45 calendar days). Council members asked about coordination where resurfacing overlaps other projects and about impacts on emergency vehicle response and resident access; staff said crews coordinate with first responders and adjust phasing to maintain access.

Council approved both contract awards by unanimous votes.
