Argo council reviews $49,072 paving option after unsuitable soils delay drainage work
Summary
Council members discussed adding the Massey Asphalt Paving Proposal for the Argo Storm Drainage Project to the June 8 agenda; Option 2, recommended because of unsuitable soil conditions, carries a $49,072 price tag and exceeds the 10% change-order threshold, prompting a requirement for supporting documentation and a formal change order.
During a June 8, 2026 work session, the Argo City Council discussed adding the Massey Asphalt Paving Proposal for the Argo Storm Drainage Project to the June 8 regular meeting agenda. The meeting record says unsuitable soil conditions were encountered during construction and that Option 2 — recommended by project personnel in the minutes — would cost $49,072.00.
Council members noted the price exceeds the city’s 10% change-order threshold, and the minutes state that a formal change order and supporting documentation will be required before the additional cost can be approved. No formal vote or award was recorded in the work-session minutes; the item was placed on the upcoming regular meeting agenda for further action.
The work-session minutes were submitted by City Clerk Amanda McCurdy and approved by Mayor Randy Hettich. The minutes do not identify who recommended Option 2 or provide further technical details about the soil conditions or alternative repair options.
