Summary

Council awarded bids to Blaylock’s for Loop Road slope repair (FEMA project) and for repairs at Walnut Road/Hogpen Branch; staff said the Loop Road project is within FEMA estimates and expects 75%–87.5% reimbursement.

The board approved awarding the low bids from Blaylock’s for two infrastructure repair projects: the Loop Road slope repair, characterized as a FEMA-related project, and the Walnut Road/Hogpen Branch repair. Staff said the Loop Road project fell within the FEMA estimates and that the city expects reimbursement in the range of 75% to 87.5% for eligible costs.

The Walnut Road repair was described as work behind a commercial lot (behind 3 Jimmys) to address culvert and parking-lot flooding; staff said previous related work (Cherokee Orchard slope repair) is complete and the Walnut bid will finish the related effort. Motions were made and the board approved awarding the projects to the low bidder by voice vote.

Staff indicated these actions allow the city to move forward with contracting and FEMA reimbursement processes; follow-up will include contract execution and project scheduling by Public Works.
