Council approves crack-and-slurry contract after single responsive bid
Summary
Council awarded the city's 2026 crack-and-slurry‑seal project (Village Court, 240th Place, Riverwood Street) to CR Contracting with a not‑to‑exceed amount of $150,000; staff noted the sole bid was lower than 2023 pricing and CR has done similar work for the city previously.
City staff presented the annual crack-and-slurry‑seal project, explaining the bid package included three street segments and alternate dig‑outs and crack filling. Staff said the bid opening produced one responsive bid from CR Contracting and recommended awarding the project with a contract ceiling of $150,000 to cover contingencies.
The presenter noted that prices appear lower than in 2023 and that CR Contracting has been a recurring vendor for the city’s slurry and crack projects over the last five years. Councilors discussed market signals — whether fewer active large projects is pushing prices down — and staff explained that some local firms lack the bonding or insurance capacity for these mid‑sized municipal jobs. A motion to award Resolution 20‑2026 to CR Contracting (not to exceed $150,000) was moved and passed.
