Commission approves crack‑sealing contract for Watertown area
Summary
The commission approved a crack‑sealing contract for multiple locations in the Watertown area after staff said the low bid of $288,000 was 17.2% above the engineer's estimate but a justifiable price among five bids.
The commission approved award of a crack‑sealing contract covering multiple routes in the Watertown area at its May 15 meeting.
Sam Weisgram told commissioners the low bidder (Z and Z Seal Coating) submitted $288,000, about $42,000 or 17.2% above the engineer's estimate of $246,000, and that the department judged the price justifiable given five bids on the contract.

After the Chair called for a motion and a second, the commission approved the award by roll call. Department staff will finalize contract paperwork and coordinate local scheduling.
