Council authorizes Grange and Wilson street rehabilitation contracts
Loading...
Summary
Trenton authorized two road rehabilitation contracts: Grange Road (Harrison–King) to Al's Asphalt for $359,230 plus a 10% contingency, and Wilson Street (Toledo–Vreeland) to Al's Asphalt for $136,537. Council cited pavement age and maintenance needs.
DPS Director Sargent told the council that Grange Road "was last paved 27 years ago" and that the stretch has "well surpassed its useful life and is becoming a maintenance issue." He requested authorization to award the Grange Road rehabilitation to Al's Asphalt for $359,230, and asked for a 10% contingency to cover unforeseen issues. The council moved, supported and approved the authorization.
Sargent also requested authorization to award the Wilson Street rehabilitation (Toledo to Vreeland) to Al's Asphalt for $136,537, noting that that street was last paved 26 years ago and that the work will include pulverizing, milling and four inches of asphalt paving. That award was likewise moved, supported and approved.
Council members asked timing and traffic-control questions; Sargent said the Grange Road work would be completed before July 1 and that contractors plan to maintain traffic, likely milling off half of the road at a time. Both contracts rely on unit pricing from prior city projects and a recommendation from the city engineer.
