The Anderson City Board of Works on December 2 opened bids for a suite of 2025 street-maintenance projects and voted to take the submissions under advisement for further review.

Board members heard presentations of bids for 2025 striping (Various Street No. 2), crack sealing (Various Street No. 3), and concrete street repairs in the Sagamore addition and Rolling Hills. Staff recited bidder names and dollar amounts, including Accurate Stripey Incorporated ($324,730.07) and Aeromark Company LLC ($185,263.73) for striping; Pavement Solutions and DC Construction on crack sealing; and multiple bids for concrete repairs ranging from about $43,588 to $421,323.94 depending on the project and bidder.

Unidentified Speaker 2 moved that the board "take under advisement" the 2025 striping bids, citing requests from City Attorney Pawlowski and Chief Engineer House; Speaker 1 seconded and the motion passed on a voice vote. The board took similar motions on crack sealing, Sagamore concrete repairs and Rolling Hills concrete repairs, each carried by voice vote.

Members asked procedural and cost questions during the Rolling Hills discussion; a cost estimate reported for one item was $178,431, and a separate Sycamore estimate was reported at $452,010. Where questions were asked about prior work or contractor experience, staff responded by identifying previous contractors and confirming bid submissions.

The board did not award contracts during the meeting; motions recorded in the transcript directed staff to further review bids and return with recommendations. Individual vote tallies beyond the recorded 'Aye' calls were not specified in the transcript.
