Urbana approves asphalt, crack‑sealing contracts and new street‑lighting maintenance agreement
Summary
Council approved a $96,074.08 crack‑sealing contract, a $897,580 asphalt contract (6‑1 vote), and a full‑service street‑lighting agreement with Miami Valley Lighting, LLC, adopting new rates for the next five years.
Urbana City Council approved three public‑works items April 21: a crack‑sealing contract for $96,074.08, a $897,580 asphalt program contract and a full‑service street‑lighting maintenance agreement.
Director of Administration Spencer Mitchell told council that Bituminous Pavement Systems, LLC submitted the low bid for the crack‑sealing program at $96,074.08, including additive work at Grimes Municipal Airport; the engineer’s estimate was $98,500. Council approved the contract 7‑0. The city also awarded the 2026 Asphalt Program to Barrett Paving Materials, Inc. at $897,580 (the $854,838 base bid plus a 5% contingency of $42,742). Mitchell said all three asphalt bids were under the $1,078,000 engineer’s estimate; the measure passed 6‑1 with Councilmember Ms. Jumper voting no.
Council also adopted Resolution 2730‑26, authorizing the Director of Administration to enter a full‑service street‑lighting agreement with Miami Valley Lighting, LLC and accepting an updated five‑year fee schedule; Mrs. Bean moved the resolution and Mr. Scott seconded, and passage was unanimous.
Council discussion included a brief exchange where Ms. Jumper said she hoped Barrett Paving 'was a lot nicer this time' referencing prior work on Hovey and Miami streets. The approvals will be charged to multiple funds identified in the record, including the Capital Improvement Fund and specific utility and motor‑vehicle funds; project budgets for 2026 were confirmed as sufficient by staff.
