Kechi awards 2026 street maintenance bid to Pearson Construction
Summary
Council awarded the Streets 2026 maintenance contract to Pearson Construction (lowest bid) and authorized the city administrator to sign; staff said additional oil-price-driven costs (~$50,000) would be covered by fund balance.
Council reviewed three bids for the 2026 street maintenance program (milling and overlay) and approved the low bid from Pearson Construction, with a motion recording a not-to-exceed award amount of $2,205,060.50. Staff recommended Pearson based on past performance and price; council voted 4–0 to authorize the city administrator to execute the contract.
City staff noted overall maintenance costs rose due to higher oil prices; the approximately $50,000 increase would be covered from fund balance. Councilors discussed long-term pavement maintenance plans and asked staff to continue building a multi-year maintenance/phasing plan to avoid recurring large repair cycles.
