LaSalle council approves $594,026 bid for 2026 street maintenance; authorizes pay request of $132,173.53
Summary
Council approved awarding a $594,026.96 contract to Universal Asphalt & Excavating for 2026 MFT and non‑MFT maintenance and later authorized Pay Request No. 3 for $132,173.53 for emergency water‑main work completed to date.
The LaSalle City Council voted to award a bid of $594,026.96 to Universal Asphalt & Excavating Inc. for the 2026 MFT and non‑MFT maintenance program and later approved Pay Request No. 3 for Universal Asphalt totaling $132,173.53 for work completed to date on the Malcolm Creekore and Gun Avenue emergency water‑main replacements (2025 project).
During discussion staff referenced bid comparisons and noted the recommended vendor; the council moved to approve the award and then took a roll call vote. Separately, authorization of Pay Request No. 3 was presented and approved to pay the contractor for completed work on the emergency water main replacements.
Why it matters: The contract award funds regular street maintenance and the pay request covers completed emergency water‑main replacement work, both of which affect the city’s infrastructure condition and short‑term public‑works cash flow.
What the record shows: The bid award and the pay request were each moved, seconded and approved by roll call. The transcript records the bid amount as $594,26.96 in places and later as 594,026 and 96 cents; the pay request is recorded as 132,17353 (presented as $132,173.53). The city will proceed with the work under the awarded contract and process contractor payment as authorized by the council.
