Staff recommends awarding Blackhawk/Sandra Drive reconstruction bid to Iroquois; board asked questions
Summary
Staff presented Antero Group's recommendation to accept the low bid from Iroquois for Blackhawk and Sandra Drive reconstruction, including milling, HMA courses and storm‑structure work; trustees asked about limits, timing and scope and staff said work would start in spring weather permitting.
Staff reported the results of a public bid process for the Blackhawk and Sandra Drive reconstruction and said the Antero Group recommends awarding the contract to Iroquois, the lowest responsive bidder. The scope noted in the packet includes 4‑inch milling, a 1.5‑inch HMA surface and binder course, storm‑structure cleanout and erosion control.
Why it matters: the streets identified have been raised by residents for years as in need of repair; trustees and staff said completing reconstruction and drainage work will improve safety and curb ongoing maintenance costs. Staff asked the board to accept the recommendation and begin work in spring when asphalt suppliers reopen.
Trustees asked clarifying questions about the limits of the work (from Western Avenue to Governors/Speedway), the bid tabulation and contractor qualifications; staff said procurement documentation and vendor qualifications were included in the packet and explained the project sequencing would be weather dependent.
Next steps: staff recommended award and will return procurement documents or an ordinance as required for formal board action; timing of construction is contingent on spring weather and contractor scheduling.
