Council reviews recommended street‑resurfacing projects and budget tradeoffs
Summary
Staff briefed the council on proposed street‑resurfacing work and an estimated cost higher than the year’s budget; staff will prepare a competitive unit‑price bid package in January and report results in February, with options to remove streets to meet budget limits.
Staff presented the recommended street‑resurfacing list and discussed the town's available budget and bidding approach.
The staff estimate for the recommended project list is roughly $276,000 versus a budgeted amount of $230,000 for the year. Staff said the town will use a unit‑price contract and can scale quantities—removing streets from the bid or reducing quantities—to stay within the budget if bids come in higher than anticipated. South Sunberry Trail carried the largest quantity of expected work, and staff noted some undercuts in that area that may affect final costs.
Staff also said they will advertise a competitive bid package in January and expect to return with bid results in February. Council members asked questions about storm‑related impacts and culvert or road damage; staff said their review to date had not shown culvert damage on town‑maintained roads, though private roads had suffered damage.
No formal council action was taken; staff will proceed with a January bid package and present results to the council.
