Village awards $7.1 million in 2026 resurfacing work; Brothers Asphalt wins both bids
Summary
The board awarded two 2026 street-resurfacing contracts — Group 1 (MFT-funded) and Group 2 (village-funded) — to Brothers Asphalt after staff reported competitive bids and recommended awards with contingency up to budgeted amounts.
The Mount Prospect Village Board approved awards for the village's 2026 street-resurfacing program, accepting low bids from Brothers Asphalt Paving of Addison for both Group 1 (Motor Fuel Tax-funded) and Group 2 (village-funded) work.
Sean Dorsey, head of public works, told trustees the village maintains about 140 centerline miles of streets and aims to resurface roughly one-fifth of those on a 20-year cycle. For Group 1 (about 6.99 centerline miles), Dorsey said the village received seven bids; the low bid from Brothers Asphalt was "just over $3,062,207," the engineers' estimate was $3,482,000, and staff recommended awarding a contract to Brothers Asphalt for an amount not to exceed $3,500,000 to allow contingency for unanticipated quantities or improvements.
On Group 2 (roughly 3.3 miles, village-funded and aligned with water-main restoration work), Dorsey said Brothers Asphalt submitted the low bid of $3,176,644 and staff recommended awarding that contract for an amount not to exceed $3,618,454. He explained that splitting the program into two contracts (MFT and village funds) produced greater bidder interest and helped manage concurrent water-main projects.
Trustees asked whether resurfacing would be coordinated with water-main work and whether bidders operated plants locally; Dorsey said Group 2 includes streets tied to water-main projects and that Brothers Asphalt appears not to operate its own plant for the work. Trustees also discussed the use of any budget cushion from Group 1's lower bid to add streets or perform additional patching. Dorsey said the motor fuel tax money is village-controlled and the village has flexibility to use available funds proactively.
The board approved both awards by unanimous roll-call votes.
The awards are for an overall resurfacing program budgeted at about $7.1 million, with the motor-fuel-tax fund contributing about $3.5 million and the Street Improvement Construction Fund about $3.6 million."
