Killough awarded $184,151.10 street contract; council discusses funding and equipment repairs
Summary
After opening three bids, the council awarded the street repair contract to Killough Construction Inc. for $184,151.10 (1-year warranty). Council noted the budget allows $150,000 plus about $50,000 from the Special Highway fund; a private $5,000 donation toward repairs was also recorded.
The council opened bids for street repairs and received three proposals: Bettis ($205,202, no warranty), Sunflower ($226,900, no warranty) and Killough ($184,151.10 with a one-year warranty). Council discussed funding; the budget allows $150,000 for street repairs and the Special Highway fund typically contributes about $50,000 across the year.
Cheryl Lister moved to award the street contract to Killough Construction Inc. for $184,151.10; Kevin Seals seconded and the motion carried. Separately, Jeremiah Johnson of Alcove Investments donated $5,000 to help offset repair costs after construction trucks damaged streets while bringing in dirt for a new development.
Council also authorized up to $2,000 for skid steerer parts to continue repairs and training, and approved approximately $3,000 for seven buoys and a dock extension at East Lake. The minutes record those motions but do not provide a detailed funding plan to cover the contract cost beyond the cited budget and anticipated Special Highway fund monies.
