Council awards phases 1–2 of 2024 Street Improvement Project to All Pro Asphalt
Summary
At a council meeting members approved awarding phases one and two of the 2024 Street Improvement Project to All Pro Asphalt, citing a roughly $23,000 savings versus the next-cheapest bidder and sufficient street-fund balances to cover work through those phases.
A council meeting voted to award phases one and two of the 2024 Street Improvement Project to All Pro Asphalt after staff said the company ranked highest across the project bid list and would perform patching followed by microsurfacing. The motion to award was made by a committee member and seconded by the presiding official; the body carried the motion on a voice vote.
The project is structured in three phases: Central Street South (phase one); Park Avenue from BB Highway to Veterans Drive (phase two); and Park Avenue from Veterans Drive to Lee Street (phase three). Staff told the council the work would repair degraded areas and then apply a microsurface seal. Staff said the contract is written so the town can choose which phases to execute as funding and timing permit.
Staff reported the street fund balance was $217,275.76 as of June 4 and that the fund brings in roughly $14,000–$20,000 per month (about $18,000 typical). Based on those receipts and projected expenditures, staff said the town could safely proceed with phases one and two now and decide whether to start phase three after phase two finishes to avoid an additional mobilization fee (staff said the phase‑three mobilization charge listed in the bid was $2,900). Council members emphasized completing the work before the school year to avoid construction while buses operate.
A committee member noted All Pro Asphalt would save “about 23 grand” compared with the next-cheapest bid; staff said they would confirm whether the contractor would remove additional mobilization charges if phases are performed consecutively. Council members also discussed commodity-price risk for oil and whether price changes could affect final costs.
The motion to award phases one and two to All Pro Asphalt was moved by the committee member and seconded by the presiding official; members approved the award by voice vote. The transcript does not list a roll-call tally or the governing body’s official name; this article uses the term “the council” to refer to the meeting participants.
