Edmond staff report progress on overlays, intersections and sidewalk projects; FY27 resurfacing to favor concrete
Summary
Staff reported overlays nearly complete in most areas, early‑completion incentives for the Air Depot/Covell intersection, Pelican Bay nearing punch‑list completion, the 2nd Street ADA sidewalk underway (target Oct 2027), and a FY27 plan to favor concrete resurfacing based on life‑cycle analysis and recent material price shifts.
City staff reviewed progress across CIP‑funded projects and previewed work planned for fiscal 2027.
Brad (staff project presenter) said most overlay sections are complete except near Danforth and Kelly, and that the Air Depot and Covell intersection project remains on track for completion before the nearby school opens in August; staff implemented an early‑completion incentive to encourage timely delivery. "We implemented an early completion incentive with that project to try to help give a carrot to the contractor if they did good and finished on time," he said.
Brad said Pelican Bay is in the punch‑list phase and that the 2nd Street ADA sidewalk project has begun on the west end with an expected October 2027 completion. He also listed other active projects: Library/YMCA interior work, Caplinger fields nearing late‑July completion, Creek Bend Trail phase 2 design (about 60%) with geotechnical bores for proposed bridges, and the Police Lake patrol facility design (roughly 60%).
On resurfacing strategy, staff said the FY27 program will emphasize concrete in many locations after reviewing life‑cycle costs and recent changes in asphalt pricing. "Some of the world events in the last six months have changed that where it's actually pretty close in cost," a staff presenter said, explaining the choice to pursue concrete options for high‑volume corridors and selected resurfacing projects.
Staff also said they will restart annual pavement data collection in five blocks to keep PCI (pavement condition index) scores up to date and will put a new RFP out for that work.
No formal actions were taken; staff asked board members to raise questions offline and said additional funding details will be discussed at future meetings.
