Dayton council approves bidding for nearly $2M road improvement project
Summary
Council approved advertisement and bidding for the city's annual mill-and-overlay road improvement project, estimated just under $2 million; if plans proceed, bids open March 3 and the award will return to council March 10 with construction planned for summer.
The Dayton City Council voted 5–0 to authorize advertising and bidding for the city's annual road improvement project, which groups several mill-and-overlay street segments identified in Dayton's pavement management plan. Staff told the council the project covers mostly northeast streets and a segment of Holly Lane, where curb repairs and drainage work are also needed.
Staff estimated the project cost at "just under $2 million," slightly above the amount in the capital-improvement plan (CIP). If plans are approved, staff will advertise the project, open contractor bids on March 3 and return to council March 10 for award; work is expected to be completed in summer, with contractors able to select work timing within the city-required window.
Project notes included coordination with adjacent businesses on Holly Lane, an ongoing application for a senior-living facility on Balsam Lane that could affect whether that segment is included, and the typical life expectancy for a mill-and-overlay treatment (7–10 years). Council moved, seconded and approved bidding 5–0.
Why it matters: The project maintains pavement health across neighborhood streets and is funded through the city's CIP; staff said grouping segments geographically reduces mobilization costs and improves bid competition.
What’s next: Staff will finalize plans and alternates, advertise the project, open bids March 3, and return for award on March 10.
