Council directs legislation to award 2026 parking-lot paving contract despite budget gap
Summary
City staff reported NRA Paving as the apparent low bidder for the 2026 parking-lot paving program (base bid $432,121.65); staff said the total including a 10% contingency would be $475,338.82 and recommended using CIP savings to cover the excess over the $400,000 budget. Council voted to draft the award ordinance.
City staff told the committee of the whole that the apparent low bidder for the 2026 parking-lot paving program was NRA Paving, with a base bid of $432,121.65 and a staff-reported total including a 10% contingency of $475,338.82. The contract package covers resurfacing and repairs to several city-owned parking areas, with alternates for an Ellerton Cemetery access road and a minimum fill for the primary parking lot at the Marine Civic Center.
Staff said the $475,338.82 total exceeded the program’s current budget of $400,000 and recommended drafting legislation to award the project while covering the shortfall from savings in other capital improvement accounts. During questions, staff also said a transfer of "$144" would be made into the city facility improvements account; that figure appears inconsistent with the invoice and budget totals discussed earlier in the meeting record.
After discussion about which CIP accounts could absorb the shortage, the council voted unanimously to have legislation prepared to award the 2026 parking-lot paving program to NRA Paving and to include appropriate appropriation language to cover the balance.
