Smithfield council awards street resurfacing contract to Coastline Contracting
Summary
Council approved awarding the street resurfacing contract to Coastline Contracting Company LLC with a 224‑day timeline proposed; council asked staff to update road evaluations, check subsurface utility conflicts and return with a precise mileage and schedule.
The Town of Smithfield Council approved a contract award for the town’s street resurfacing project to Coastline Contracting Company LLC after staff presented bid results and references.
Public Works (Mr. Davis) said staff allowed 224 days for the contractor to complete the work, with the intent to finish by May–June to avoid winter conditions. Council members and staff discussed the need to check subsurface utilities and coordination with other work to avoid newly paved roads being cut for utility installations. Mr. Davis said the resurfacing portion of the project likely covers about one mile within an overall 62‑mile street network; he committed to providing an exact mileage breakdown to the council.
Council asked staff to commission an updated pavement evaluation (the town is currently using a 2017 assessment) and to hire an engineering firm to help prioritize future resurfacing projects. The motion to enter into the contract passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
What is next: staff will provide the precise project mileage and a schedule, continue utility coordination to reduce the risk of early cut‑ups, and pursue a new pavement condition assessment for future planning.
