City Council approves nearly $3 million for alley reconstruction projects
Summary
The Colony City Council approved two contracts totaling about $2.9 million to reconstruct roughly 8,437 linear feet of alleys, with work phased and clustered to reduce disruption and timed around weather and the school calendar.
The Colony City Council on Wednesday approved two separate contracts to rebuild deteriorated alleyways across the city, awarding $702,447.08 to CI Pavement and $2,203,460.36 to Pavecon Limited for a combined total of $2,905,907.44.
City public works staff told the council the projects will reconstruct about 2,383 linear feet (CI Pavement) and about 6,054 linear feet (Pavecon) of alley and will be phased and clustered to limit neighborhood disruption. Staff said most work for the CI Pavement award is concentrated near the post office; Pavecon’s contract covers several of the worst-condition alleys, including additional clustered locations.
Public works staff explained sequencing will depend on contractor crew availability and weather. Concrete pours require temperatures of at least 45 degrees and rising, staff said, meaning colder or wet weather could delay work. For the CI Pavement project staff estimated roughly a 12-week construction window for the contract’s scope and said some streets near Lakeview High School will be held until school is out to avoid disrupting traffic.
Council members said the awards are a continuation of multi-year alley repairs and noted contractors from prior years have carried into the current budget. One council member summarized the city’s near-term alley spending, noting the two awards bring total alley project authorizations to just under $3 million for the year.
Council voted to approve each contract after staff presentation and discussion. No additional conditions or amendments were recorded in the meeting transcript.
The contracts are funded from the city’s street/alleys budget; staff said some additional streets remain in reserve for future purchase orders as needed.
