Red Bank staff presents resurfacing contract for Browntown Road to Gab Road; work could begin mid‑May
Summary
Director Tate asked the commission to authorize an agreement for resurfacing Browntown Road to Gab Road, citing a construction estimate of about $491,000 and a contractor timetable that could begin paving by May 15 with practical completion within the typical 60‑day window; funding is described as a mix of MPO/TDOT resources and local allocations. The item was on the work‑session consent agenda (resolution 26‑1900).
Red Bank — Director Tate briefed the commission on a proposed agreement to complete resurfacing of Browntown Road to Gab Road and asked commissioners to place the item on the consent agenda for approval.
Tate described packet materials available on the public projects tab and summarized estimated costs: an overall completion estimate in the packet of about $491,000, with portions covered by MPO/TDOT funding and a previously allocated local supplement. He explained that some earlier phases and legacy contract obligations remain and that sending the agreement to TDOT triggers required pre‑construction coordination.
Tate said the contractor hopes to begin paving by May 15 and that, once the notice to proceed is issued, the contractor typically has a 60‑day window to finish the physical work (with final closeout possibly into July depending on invoice timing and final documentation).
Why it matters
The resurfacing is one of the CIP’s contracted transportation projects and was described as a legacy project dating to earlier award cycles. Staff emphasized the outreach and communications plan (video/materials prepared by city communications staff) to notify residents and motorists about staging and traffic impacts.
Next steps and status
The resurfacing agreement was presented as resolution 26‑1900 on the work‑session consent agenda; the work session discussion did not record a final vote to authorize signing during the work session. Staff said they would coordinate required pre‑construction meetings with TDOT and the contractor upon approval in the regular meeting or subsequent action.
