Graham council authorizes advertisement for bids on small hot‑mix asphalt repairs
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to advertise for bids and to negotiate a contract for small‑segment hot‑mix asphalt repairs across the city, with staff estimating roughly $150,000 in identified paving work; the work was described as distinct from routine chip seal projects.
The Graham City Council authorized the city manager to advertise for bids and to negotiate a contract for small‑segment hot‑mix asphalt roadway repairs identified across the city.
Staff said department crews identified several short segments that require either overlay or full reconstruction; the current estimate for the collection of segments is approximately $150,000. Staff explained these jobs require deeper milling and cement stabilization (up to 8 inches) and are distinct from the routine chip‑seal work the city performs in‑house.
Council discussed local contractor participation and procurement processes. Staff noted that formal advertising is required when total project cost exceeds $50,000. Motion by Brent, second by Shannon; motion passed by voice vote.
The authorization allows the city manager to solicit bids and to negotiate and conclude the resulting contract under a best‑value determination; staff said the contract will draw from the street repair budget.
