Worthington Hills awards Lunenburg Drive repaving to Hall Paving after bid review
Summary
After opening five bids for the Lunenburg Drive project, the Worthington Hills commission voted to award the contract to Hall Paving. Commissioners debated adding a fiber additive requested by one bidder and noted the project exceeds the $40,000 public-ad threshold.
The Worthington Hills City Commission voted June 16 to award the Lunenburg Drive repaving contract to Hall Paving after opening five bids and discussing an optional fiber additive offered by one bidder.
City Clerk Bev Lush opened the bids at the meeting. Donnie, a Riverside Pavers representative, described an $8,019 add-on for a fiber product and said Riverside uses that asphalt for METRO alley work: "The fiber strengthens the asphalt as if it had a Kevlar-type material in it," the representative said. Commissioners discussed whether all bidders should be asked to re-submit prices that included the fiber.
Bids announced at the meeting were: LIBS Paving, $92,300; Hall Paving, $106,800; Flynn Brothers, $110,761.55; Riverside Pavers, $108,912 (plus an $8,019 fiber option); and Louisville Paving, $111,227 (with an additional $450 listed for stop bars). Commissioner Linda Beville offered to contact each bidding company and ask them to submit revised bids that include the fiber option.
Mayor Robert Stonum said he preferred to use a company that owns its own asphalt plant. Despite the discussion about re-bidding with the fiber additive, Commissioner Susan Maupin moved to accept Hall Paving’s $106,800 proposal; Commissioner Dennis Metcalf seconded. A roll-call vote recorded "Yes" from the mayor and five commissioners, and the motion passed.
Commissioners noted the project exceeded the state's $40,000 threshold for public projects, which prompted follow-up advertising and bid-submission steps described elsewhere in the meeting records. Road Commissioner Beville later summarized outreach to Flynn Brothers, Louisville Paving and All Terrain asking them to re-submit bids in compliance with Courier Journal ad instructions.
Next steps: the commission approved Hall Paving’s contract award at the June 16 meeting. Commissioner Beville indicated she will follow up with bidders about the fiber option and the commission discussed possibly scheduling a special meeting to finalize technical details; Mayor Stonum stated he is opposed to special meetings. The commission did not record any amendment to the awarded contract at the meeting.
