Council awards $2.27 million contract for 2026 asphalt rehabilitation
Summary
Council approved awarding Freeman Paving LLC a $2,274,352.95 contract to rehabilitate multiple streets this fiscal year, including work near Fane Elementary, Ridgeway Drive, Maureen Street, and Ray Road; staff described an eight‑month timeline and a data‑driven prioritization process.
The council approved a $2,274,352.95 contract to Freeman Paving LLC for the city’s 2026 asphalt rehabilitation program. Warren Tyson, who presented the item, said this is the third of four street improvement projects this fiscal year and emphasized work on Hollandale Avenue (near Fane Elementary), Ridgeway Drive (near Hershey High), Maureen Street, and Ray Road.
Tyson described the city’s updated prioritization method — a pavement condition index supplemented by a roughness index, traffic counts, serviceability classification, complaint data, and visual inspection — and estimated the project will take about eight months. Councilors asked scheduling and scope questions; staff said they will coordinate sequencing with the contractor at a preconstruction meeting after contract execution.
