Norwalk awards $870,458.85 and $533,981.40 contracts for street rehabilitation projects
Summary
Council approved contracts and accompanying resolutions to launch the 50th Avenue rehabilitation (award to Diamond Surface Inc., $870,458.85) and the 2025 Street Rehabilitation (award to Brothers Concrete, $533,981.40), plus the plans/specs and bond approvals needed to start work.
The Norwalk City Council voted Sept. 18 to advance two pavement projects by approving the necessary resolutions, awarding contracts and approving contract/bond arrangements.
For the 50th Avenue pavement rehabilitation (constructed in 2008 and requiring diamond grinding and joint repair), staff received two bids and recommended Diamond Surface Incorporated. The council voted to approve plans/specifications and the estimate, then awarded the contract to Diamond Surface Inc. for $870,458.85 and approved the contract and bond to finalize payment arrangements.
Separately, the annual 2025 Street Rehabilitation project (including work on High Road, Cherry Parkway and Echo Ridge Trail) received seven bids. Staff recommended the low bidder, Brothers Concrete, after checking references. Council approved the plans/specs and estimate, awarded the contract to Brothers Concrete for $533,981.40, and approved the contract and bond to complete the procurement sequence.
City engineers told the council diamond grinding and joint-fault repairs on 50th Avenue will address the roadway's feeling of "thump-thump" when vehicles drive over joint faulting. For the 2025 project, the work mix includes PCC and HMA patching and an HMA overlay in targeted sections. Council approved both projects by roll calls after staff presentations and closed public hearings with no substantial public opposition.
Staff said they will schedule pre-construction meetings and coordinate start dates with the contractors and utility providers; for 50th Avenue, staff anticipated a pre-construction meeting the following week.
