Council OKs $290,000 restoration contract after prior vendor performance questioned
Summary
Council approved up to $290,000 to restore work on the 2023 Monroe Boulevard pavement rehabilitation project after staff said the original vendor's performance did not meet expectations and the city is assigning work to complete the project.
The Taylor City Council voted to approve Audio Concrete Construction (current vendor) to perform restorations on the 2023 Monroe Boulevard pavement rehabilitation project for an amount not to exceed $290,000, funded through the 2021 MTF bond issuance. The motion carried by voice vote.
During discussion a council member asked whether the payment was in addition to earlier vendor payments and whether the city would be paying twice for work. A staff speaker replied, "That is things that we expected to do originally, but the performance wasn't there. So we pulled it, and we're trying to assign someone else to get the work done." (Staff member, speaker 7). A council member pressed to ensure the city was not paying more to complete the project; staff clarified the intent was to assign the work so the project could be finished.
The chair closed discussion and the motion carried. The transcript does not include contract documents or a full accounting of prior payments; it records that the prior vendor's performance was insufficient and that the city will assign new work to complete the project.
