Sykesville awards $279,500 paving contract to CPE
Summary
The council authorized a cooperative procurement to hire CPE Incorporated for FY25 roadway resurfacing (Spout Hill Road, Village Road and a portion of Obrecht Road) in an amount not to exceed $279,500; the motion passed unanimously.
Sykesville — The town council unanimously approved a contract to resurface portions of Spout Hill Road, Village Road and a segment of Obrecht Road, awarding the work to CPE Incorporated in an amount not to exceed $279,500.
Staff explained the town used a cooperative purchasing approach (piggybacking on Howard County's on-call paving contract) rather than re-bidding the project; staff said the county contract unit prices and CPE’s takeoffs were consistent with town expectations. The scope includes milling and overlay work commensurate with the road classification (heavier work for Spout Hill/Obrecht than for local residential streets such as Village Road).
Finance and procurement context: Staff said the project will be paid from highway-user revenues included in the town’s capital improvements plan and that some carryover funds from the prior fiscal year remain available for the work. Councilmembers asked for clarifying maps of the exact Obrecht Road segment to be paved, and staff confirmed the section is from the county line toward Norris Avenue (up to the town boundary at Fairhaven Park) and does not include county-maintained portions.
Next steps: The mayor was authorized to sign contract documents to begin the project once the procurement paperwork is completed.
