City awards $335,469 contract to Staker Parsons for 2026 street maintenance program

The council voted to award the 2026 street maintenance construction contract to Staker Parsons on Tuesday, approving a low bid of $335,469 for a package of asphalt repairs, chip seal, slurry and striping work across the city.

Project Manager Jake Mibus said the program will include substantial chip sealing and striping, a tear-out and small replacement on 375 East, and a mill-and-overlay on a short segment of 5600 West near the public-works shop. "Parsons Staker Parsons submitted low bid: 335,469," Mibus said while describing the projects and anticipated traffic-calming benefits of new lane striping on 5600 West and Ridgeline.

The work is intended to improve pavement condition and create shoulder areas for parking and shared use, Mibus said. He told the council the bid process drew six competitive proposals and that Staker Parsons has been a repeat contractor for the city. Council members asked about construction timing; Mibus said the city expects the work to occur in the summer and aimed to finish before fall.

Councilmember (6) moved to approve the award and Councilmember (5) seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote with no recorded opposition. The council directed staff to proceed to contract execution and preconstruction scheduling so work can begin once the contractor’s schedule is confirmed.

The contract award follows the council’s regular review of pavement needs and comes as the city prepares its five-year budget planning for infrastructure expenditures. The council did not attach special conditions to the award; staff will coordinate final schedules with affected residents and the city’s public-works operations.

The city expects to begin contractor coordination and pre-construction work in the coming weeks; the council flagged school and shop access as items staff will coordinate with the contractor.
