Council advances $2.84 million Zora Street improvements contract to second reading
Summary
The council advanced on first reading a $2,840,723.59 construction agreement for Zora Street Improvements Phase 2, featuring 12-foot lanes and 10-foot paved shoulders; staff reported four competitive bids and a 270-day contract timeline.
Public Works staff presented a construction contract recommendation for Zora Street Improvements Phase 2 and asked the council to advance the ordinance. The low bid from Emery SAP and Sons Inc. (transcript spelling) totaled $2,840,723.59; staff said four bids were received and the low bid was below the engineer's estimate.
The project will continue the corridor east to the 249 right-of-way with a two-lane profile (12-foot lanes) and 10-foot paved shoulders designed to improve safety and truck operations. The contract includes a 270-day completion timeframe; staff said the work is included in the capital improvement sales-tax budget and will proceed with a notice to proceed upon council approval.
Council asked whether state responsibilities begin where the project ends; staff said they will coordinate with the state and consider extending the city's limits slightly to avoid creating a rough transition. Council advanced the ordinance on first reading; the measure will return for subsequent readings and final adoption.
