Committee awards Switzer Road $23.44M reconstruction and approves multiple equipment purchases
Summary
The committee recommended award of the Switzer Road reconstruction to Pyramid Contractors for $23,442,446.75 (pending WaterOne relocation approval), approved a $287,450 asphalt-patch contract to McConnell & Associates, a $383,200 street-sweeper purchase from MH Logistics, and $422,780.16 for four International chassis for snow units.
The committee considered multiple construction and equipment procurement items. For capital construction, staff recommended awarding the Switzer Road reconstruction (167th to 179th Street) to Pyramid Contractors as the lowest responsive bidder. The project includes new concrete pavement, sidewalks, shared-use paths, a bridge over Poppy Creek, two roundabouts, and associated utility relocations; construction is anticipated to begin in June and complete by December 2027. Staff flagged a pending relocation agreement with WaterOne; the committee recommended award to Pyramid ($23,442,446.75) and passed the motion unanimously, with the item to proceed to full council after WaterOne's approval.
On smaller procurements, staff presented the 2026 asphalt patch bid (about 31,000 sq ft) and recommended award to McConnell & Associates ($287,450), and a replacement street-sweeper purchase (2025 Timco) to MH Logistics/Armor Equipment ($383,200). Staff also requested authorization to purchase four International HV507 single-axle cab-and-chassis trucks (to be built out as snow units) for $422,780.16; the committee approved each request by unanimous voice vote.
Committee discussion emphasized resident notification and neighborhood meetings for major projects, options for hybrid (in-person plus virtual) neighborhood outreach, phasing and minimizing disruption, and coordinating public meetings in June prior to major construction work.
