Commissioners hear low bid of $1.25 million to resurface 2.7 miles of subdivision streets
Summary
County staff presented a low bid of $1,249,078.45 from Revitalize Construction for 2.7 miles of subdivision resurfacing, noting the per-mile cost (~$463,000) is higher than prior projects and that work will be spread to address worst-need spots.
County roads staff told the St. Joseph County commissioners that Revitalize Construction submitted the low bid of $1,249,078.45 to resurface and rehabilitate about 2.7 miles of subdivision streets. The presenter said that, when broken down by mileage, the project amounts to roughly $463,000 per mile — substantially higher than an earlier project that was about $280,000 per mile.
"It is for 2.7 miles of roadway. Was the low bidder in the amount of $1,249,078.45," the presenter stated while describing the scope and the plan to spread work among worst-need areas rather than repaving whole subdivisions.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about whether the work covered entire subdivisions (the presenter said it would not) and noted the county has a large number of cul-de-sacs and short segments that complicate paving economies of scale.
No final award vote is recorded in the provided transcript segments; the item was presented and discussed.
