Council awards $635,268.74 contract for 2026 street maintenance to Black Forest Paving
Summary
Council approved Resolution 25‑31 awarding the 2026 Street maintenance contract to low bidder Black Forest Paving; staff said the low bid was under budget, references were checked, and council discussed potential scope additions and schedule for a couple high‑priority sections.
Staff recommended awarding Resolution 25‑31, the FY2026 street maintenance contract, to low bidder Black Forest Paving after a public bid opening produced five bids.
Brandon, the staff presenter, said the low bid came in under the engineer’s estimate and that he had called three references for the contractor. During discussion council members asked whether alternative items or additional scope should be added; staff replied those would be evaluated in coordination with the contractor after award. A council member moved to approve the award; the motion language recorded in the meeting was: “award of the 2026 Street maintenance project to Black Forest Paving in the amount of $635,268.74.” The presiding official announced a roll‑call vote and declared the motion carries.
The meeting record included a brief exchange about a cents discrepancy—participants noted one line said .74 and another .75—staff and council agreed the difference would not prevent moving forward and the mayor announced the motion carried.
Why it matters: the award funds resurfacing and related preservation work across multiple streets and includes two near‑term projects staff asked the contractor to begin promptly (a walking‑path edge and work on 7800 South). Staff said the contractor indicated they could start quickly on the prioritized sections.
