Flower Hill authorizes Metro Paving agreement for three-road resurfacing; trustees ask that striping and bike/ped elements be written into contract
Summary
The board authorized entering an agreement with Metro Paving to mill and repave three areas (including Stonytown Road), with a staff-presented total estimate of $363,007.07; trustees requested inclusion of restriping, bike/ped path and rumble-strip work in the contract and asked for a clear cost share from National Grid.
The Flower Hill Board of Trustees authorized staff on July 7 to enter into an agreement with Metro Paving (a vendor under a town master contract) to perform milling and resurfacing work in three project areas: Area A (Overhill, Crabtree, Peachtree, Ridgeeast, Ridgewest), Area B (Brookside Drive and Country Club Drive), and Area C (Stonytown Road up to the Manor border).
The staff-presented total for milling and paving was $363,007.07. Mayor said National Grid has agreed to pay for roughly half of Area A but did not provide an exact breakdown in the meeting packet. Trustees pressed staff to ensure striping (including bicycle/pedestrian markings) and rumble-strip work be explicitly included in the contract—one trustee asked that the contract require the vendor to perform all roadwork-related striping and painting rather than leaving those as separate obligations.
Trustees also asked whether Metro’s master agreement required an RFP or if the town contract could be used as a sole-source procurement; staff described Metro as working under a town master agreement and said they would confirm contract dates and authority before final execution. The authorization instructs staff to prepare the contract language and return the agreement to the board for final approval.
Next steps: staff will confirm the master contract details and include explicit language about striping and bike/ped items in the contract; staff will return a final contract for board approval prior to construction. The board discussed timing tied to finishing work before the school year and the need to coordinate with the Port Washington Water District work.
