Council approves project calendar for 2026 pavement patching after bid award
Summary
Council approved the 2026 major pavement patching calendar and accepted a low bid from Midwest Concrete (about $1.198 million), setting an early/late start window and a completion schedule tied to school‑district timing and liquidated damages.
The Marion City Council opened a public hearing on the 2026 major pavement patching project and then approved the project calendar and related resolutions, accepting bids and authorizing the project to proceed.
Staff said the work covers multiple street segments (Penn Street; 29th Avenue and 10th Street; 35th Street from Industrial Avenue to 3rd Avenue) and reported the low bidder, Midwest Concrete, at $1,198,112.93. The project has an early start date of June 19, 2026, a late start of July 3, 2026, a completion requirement of 70 working days and liquidated damages of $1,000 per day. Staff explained contingency provisions for sub‑surface repairs and the need to coordinate timing near school zones.
Council closed the hearing after no public comment and approved the project calendar and resolutions to proceed. Staff said contingency scope amendments may be required if contractors encounter sub‑surface defects.
