Summary
The Alma City Commission voted to award a $105,220 contract to Central Asphalt for rehabilitation of the Alma Transit parking lot and authorized the city manager to execute the contract after staff said three quotes were received through an MDOT third-party process.
The Alma City Commission voted on April 14 to award a $105,220 contract to Central Asphalt to rehabilitate the Alma Transit parking lot and authorized the city manager to sign the contract.
City staff told the commission the project was procured through an MDOT third‑party quoting process and that three quotes were received. Staff recommended Central Asphalt as the low bidder. The staff presentation cited the low award figure as $105,220; staff also referenced competing quotes, including one listed as $108,004.46 from American Asphalt and a higher quote from Mid Michigan Paving (the transcripted figure for that bid was unclear). "Central Asphalt was the low bidder," the staff member stated during the discussion.
Commissioners moved and supported the resolution to adopt the purchase and authorize contract execution; the motion carried by voice vote and the chair announced the contract had been awarded. Staff told commissioners they expect paving for the transit project to be scheduled in late May, pending coordination with the asphalt contractor.
Fiscal and procurement context: staff reported three written quotes were received after outreach to six companies; staff said the MDOT third‑party process allowed a quoting route rather than a full formal bid. No formal roll-call vote or named recorded votes appeared in the transcript; the action was recorded as approved by voice vote.
Next steps: the city manager was authorized to execute the contract and staff will schedule paving with the awarded contractor.
