Council reviews RFPs for mill-and-overlay on West Keystone Road, Montezuma underpass — bids within expected range

Town staff reported they solicited RFPs for two mill-and-overlay projects: West Keystone Road (from the Highway 6 intersection to just over the bridge) and the Montezuma Road underpass. Only two local contractors generally perform asphalt repairs in the region; Columbine Construction declined to bid due to capacity and AP submitted proposals. The town manager said AP's pricing came in "very much in the expected range," with West Keystone priced at $3.65 per square foot ($4.23 with traffic control) and Montezuma at $3.39 per square foot ($3.59 with traffic control). The combined cost for both projects was $327,301.46 against an $825,000 maintenance/construction budget.
