Council awards $286,580 seal‑coat contract to low bidder and approves $25,110 change order
Summary
Public Works recommended and council approved a $286,580 contract to Freeman Paving for 2026 seal coating; council also approved a $25,110.40 change order to add additional street area to use budgeted funds after staff described budget increases due to unit‑price inflation.
Public Works staff recommended awarding the 2026 seal‑coat contract to Freeman Paving, the low bidder at "$286,580," and the City Council approved the award. Mr. Crosswhite described the program, the camera‑based pavement assessment used to prioritize streets and the typical life of a soak coat (10–12 years). He identified three base‑bid areas for the project and answered council questions about scope and budgeting.
Council then considered a staff-proposed change order for $25,110.40 to add an additional street segment to make use of available budgeted funds; Crosswhite said engineering fees had been included and that the change order extended coverage to an additional street (he referenced the adjusted area list). Council approved the change order. Council discussed budget history for the work, noting the prior budget had been $275,000 but that the recent proposed budget increased the allocation (to allow more coverage as unit prices rose from about $2.36 to $3.90 per square yard since 2016).
