Lindsborg awards chip-seal contract to Vance Brothers for $57,168.45
Summary
The council accepted a bid from Vance Brothers to chip-seal 21,573 square yards of city streets for $57,168.45 after receiving a higher bid from APAC-Kansas and no response from Venture Corporation.
City staff presented two responsive proposals for the 2026 annual chip-seal program: Vance Brothers submitted a bid of $57,168.45 to chip-seal 21,573 square yards; APAC-Kansas submitted $75,887.00 for the same quantity; Venture Corporation did not respond to the request for proposals. Councilmember Andrew Smith moved to accept Vance Brothers’ proposal; the motion passed unanimously by roll call vote.
City staff described the chip-seal process — applying hot asphalt emulsion followed by aggregate, compacting with a pneumatic roller, and subsequent sweeping — and said the work is intended to extend pavement life by sealing surface defects and preventing moisture infiltration.
