South Lyon awards $30,000 flex‑seal spray‑injection road‑patching contract
Summary
Council awarded a $30,000 contract to Spray Patch Road Repair LLC to perform spray‑injection (flex‑seal) patching on selected city streets, waiving formal bidding to piggyback on Farmington Hills' cooperative contract.
The South Lyon City Council authorized a $30,000 award to Spray Patch Road Repair LLC on May 26 to perform flex‑seal spray‑injection road patching on targeted higher‑traffic streets.
DPW Superintendent Jeff Archie told council the method provides a more durable alternative to repeated cold‑patching and that the city expects about 72 tons of material for the work. Staff recommended waiving the formal bid process and piggybacking on an existing Farmington Hills contract to obtain bulk pricing; Archie said Farmington Hills had already vetted the contractor and purchased in bulk, enabling a better price point.
Council voted to award the contract and added authorization for the city manager to sign an appropriate contract, subject to review and oversight by the city attorney. Council members discussed the co‑op approach and confirmed the city is joining the back end of Farmington Hills' contract for this one purchase, with future procurement decisions to follow as needed.
Why it matters: the work aims to extend pavement life in problem locations through a targeted, more durable patching method ahead of major reconstruction projects.
Details: the contract was authorized for $30,000 from local and major street accounts (GL account numbers cited in staff materials). The motion to award included language authorizing the city manager to execute the contract after legal review.
