Midway approves $29,800 contract to fence public parking lot at 70 East Main Street
Summary
The council awarded a low bid of $29,800 to All American Vinyl LLC to install fencing around the newly paved public parking lot at 70 East Main Street; council discussed fence height, aesthetics and potential removal of existing fence and approved the contract.
Midway — The council approved awarding a contract to All American Vinyl LLC to install a fence around the city’s public parking lot at 70 East Main Street. The low bid was $29,800 and the vendor requested a 50 percent down payment before work begins.
Public Works staff described the proposed fence as steel posts with vinyl slats that from a distance resembles wood and noted the same company installed the fence at the West-side cemetery. Council discussion centered on fence height (6 feet is permitted by code), neighbor concerns about headlights and visual impact, and whether to reuse the existing white fence or have public works remove it to reduce cost. Staff said public works could potentially remove the old fence to save the contractor removal expense but recommended cutting posts at grade where they are set in concrete to avoid damaging curb or asphalt.
Councilmember (Speaker 7) moved to approve the contract and the council voted in favor. The contract requires sensitivity to recently completed pavement and curb work during any removal.
What happens next: Public Works will coordinate fence removal and installation; the city will finalize contract terms and confirm schedule with the contractor.
