Taylor awards $267,903 contract to pave Cottonwood Wash Trail connector
Summary
The Town of Taylor awarded a $267,903 contract to Perkins Cinders to pave a 1.5-mile, eight-foot-wide section of the Cottonwood Wash Trail; $100,000 will come from Navajo County COVID relief funds and the remainder from the town general fund.
Taylor’s town council voted unanimously on Sept. 4 to award a $267,903 contract to Perkins Cinders to pave a 1.5-mile section of the Cottonwood Wash Trail that will connect Snowflake (7th South) to Papermill Road.
Town Manager Gus Lundberg told the council five competitive bids were received and that easement issues with Aztec Land and Cattle and Navajo County have been resolved. The project will include an eight-foot-wide walking trail; groundwork already begun reduced preparatory costs. Lundberg said the Brophy family agreed to designate an acre for a restroom near the trail, though the parking area will not be paved.
Funding for the contract includes $100,000 from Navajo County COVID relief funds; the remainder will come from the town general fund, Lundberg told the council. Council Member Jason Brubaker moved to award the job to Perkins Cinders; Council Member Bill Baldwin seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The council did not set a paving completion date during the meeting. Council members framed the vote as a continuation of efforts to improve walking access and connectivity in the area.
