The committee approved a contract with Capital Cement Company Inc. for the 2026 CDBG sidewalk gap-infill and improvements after staff clarified a typographical error about the bid reading date.

Council approved resolution 159 R 26 authorizing the city manager to execute an agreement with Capital Cement Company Inc. for the 2026 CDBG sidewalk gap-infill and improvements. Council member Kelly asked why the analysis listed the bids as read on 05/05/2025; Assistant City Engineer Chris Sous clarified that bids were publicly read on 05/05/2026 and the earlier date in the packet was a typo.

Sous explained the award was delayed while contractors finalized SAM.GOV registration and other federal requirements; staff said this contract is the city's third outsourced sidewalk contract this year. The committee approved the award by a 6–0 roll call vote.
