Council awards $3.73 million contract for 2026 Asphalt Enhancement Project
Summary
Council approved a $3,728,915.15 contract with Reynolds and K for the 2026 Asphalt Enhancement Project covering about 19.3 lane miles of milling and overlay; staff and a resident discussed PCI ratings, street selection and coordination with sewer work in northwest Tyler.
The Tyler City Council authorized a $3,728,915.15 construction contract with Reynolds and K for the 2026 Asphalt Enhancement Project, a mill-and-overlay program covering roughly 19.3 lane miles and targeting streets with an average pavement condition index of about 52.
"The Asphalt Enhancement Project is an annual project...we've got about 19.3 lane miles that we're doing. They have an average PCI of 52," said Cody Vang, an engineer with the city's engineering department. Vang told the council the work will generally remove the top layer of asphalt and replace it with a new 1–2 inch overlay; alternates include repairs to a city parking lot and a driveway at the TDC building.
Council members pressed staff on how PCI scores are generated. Vang explained the city hires a consultant every four years to drive every road with cameras and sensors; software then assigns the PCI grade, which staff use to select treatment types.
During public comment, resident Eddie Sterling asked whether North Tyler streets would be included. Staff responded that a few North Tyler streets are scheduled, but several of the worst roads in northwest Tyler are being coordinated with ongoing consent-decree sewer repairs so crews do not repave streets that utilities will then cut into.
The council moved to approve the construction contract (motion by Haney, second by Nichols); the motion passed by voice vote.
Staff identified funding sources as half-cent sales tax for the primary work, with Streets Department and facilities funds covering certain alternates and parking-lot repairs. The city shared a preliminary list of streets that includes Sunnybrook (southbound only), Donnybrook, Wall Street, Sixth Street, Owens, Carlyle, Glenbrook and Pleasant Drive; additional details will be provided by staff as the project schedule is finalized.
