City staff seek $937,319 to repave 14,000 linear feet of streets and library parking
Summary
Public Works Director Sarah Kirkland asked the commission to authorize expenditure of $937,319.03 to repave several city streets (about 14,000 linear feet) and the library parking lot under an existing annual contract with Asphalt Paving Systems Inc.; commissioners requested missing contract/price documents be added before the vote.
Public Works Director Sarah Kirkland told the commission the work session item would seek authorization to expend $937,319.03 to repave multiple streets and the library parking lot, covering roughly 14,000 linear feet of pavement. Staff said the work would be performed under an existing contract with Asphalt Paving Systems Inc., which the city used last year.
Commissioners pressed staff for more complete documentation. One commissioner said he could not find the street resurfacing proposal or the contractor’s pricing in the packet and asked for a document that shows what will be done and how much the contractor will be paid. Kirkland replied that the spreadsheet listing streets, lengths, widths and unit costs is included and that any inadvertently omitted attachments will be added before Friday so commissioners have the necessary backup prior to the formal commission meeting.
Staff clarified that annual contractor approvals do not set a single dollar amount; individual project costs are derived from unit prices in the annual contract and the specific project spreadsheet. No formal vote was taken at the work session; staff said they will provide the missing attachments and a clearer contract/pricing exhibit before the commission considers the expenditure.
