Board members press staff for comparable road repair bids and an updated priority list
Summary
Board members questioned when the three required bids for road repairs will be collected, whether quotes will be comparable across contractors, and urged reverting to a 2021 prioritized list so work priorities would carry forward across boards.
A committee member asked when the three required bids for road repairs would be obtained and whether staff would structure quotes so proposals could be compared "apples to apples," pressing for a one-month procurement timeframe. The question centered on whether contractors would quote per-mile or provide line-item quotes for specific road segments.
Board participants also discussed that the most recent publicly posted roads list does not reflect a current order of priorities. One participant noted earlier lists (by street name and year) guided past repairs and that some streets (for example, Nassau) moved up the list because of bus routing. A staff member agreed to coordinate past minutes and the list so named board members could review and adjust priorities.
