Kirksville awards downtown surface treatment contract; single bid exceeds estimate
Summary
Council awarded the 2026 downtown street surface treatment contract to Donelson Construction for $564,000, above the city's $492,000 estimate; Public Works Director said the work should extend pavement life and staff will realign funds from a delayed Mill Street project to cover the difference.
The council awarded the 2026 street surface treatment contract to Donelson Construction Company of Cleaver, Missouri, for a single bid of $564,000. Public Works Director Adam Dorril described the treatment as an asphalt‑based full‑width surface application intended to extend pavement life in the downtown area and said the work will likely be completed by September and scheduled to minimize traffic impacts.
Dorril told council the bid exceeded the city’s $492,000 estimate because pavement marking removal and recent oil‑price increases were not included in the original estimate; he said funds from the delayed Mill Street reconstruction will be used to cover the overage. Council approved the award.
