Council approves Lake Avenue resurfacing project, amends contract to $431,986.44
Summary
Avon Park council approved a contract with Excavation Point, Inc. for resurfacing and restriping South and North Lake Avenue and amended the motion to set the not-to-exceed amount at $431,986.44. Council discussed funding source, nighttime milling, and coordination with FDOT work on Main Street.
The Avon Park City Council voted July 27 to authorize resurfacing and restriping work on South and North Lake Avenue, approving proposals with Excavation Point, Inc. after amending the amount to $431,986.44.
City staff identified the funding source as infrastructure construction funds and explained the revised total reflected additional bonding and updated proposals. Council members pressed staff on whether the contractor could do milling at night to limit daytime disruption; a staff member said contractors "can mill during the day and possibly pave at night," and that the noisy milling portion typically lasts one night.
Council also discussed coordination with upcoming FDOT stormwater work on Main Street, which staff said is scheduled later in the year and affects sequencing of paving. A council member asked about the project timeline and staff replied the work would be completed quickly once started. After discussion, a motion to approve the resolution as amended carried in a unanimous roll call vote.
