Board approves Phase Two paving routes, prioritizing school-area work; awards sports-complex base contract and change order
Summary
Board approved additional Phase Two paving routes to prioritize school-area streets and authorized change orders to extend base work for sports-complex access. The board awarded a bid to MN Excavators for the secondary road and approved a $10,000 change order cap.
Board discussion focused at length on Phase Two of the city's asphalt paving program. Staff presented additional route options, including priority work near the elementary school and the tennis-complex parking overlay; members emphasized completing certain routes before school starts and discussed scheduling alternatives such as fall break if timing or weather prevents earlier work.
The board approved adding the additional Phase Two routes and authorized staff to coordinate sequencing so the most traffic-sensitive routes—particularly those serving schools—are prioritized. Members discussed using change orders to add related work (such as building the base for adjacent parking or access roads) so contractors can complete connected tasks while mobilized.
Separately, the board approved a bid to MN Excavators for construction of a secondary road serving the sports complex (transcribed contract amount unclear) and approved Change Order No. 1 for that secondary road not to exceed $10,000. Pay Request No. 1 for the related project also received approval. The transcript does not include a roll-call tally for these approvals; actions were recorded as voice approvals.
