Township authorizes additional chipseal add-ons with Allied despite overage risk
Summary
Silver Creek Township approved 20% add-on chipseal work with contractor Allied for a 4-mile loop and optional add-ons including 156th Street, with estimated add-on cost of about $14,693 and potential overages up to roughly $40,000 when including water. Maintenance recommended against the highest-risk Intercity Silver Creek add-on but the board approved both projects 5-0.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved additional chipseal work tied to Allied’s 4-mile loop contract at its June 26 special meeting, authorizing an option to add 20% to the contract. Maintenance told the board Allied holds the bid for the loop and the township could add the Intercity Silver Creek work as a quoted add-on rather than part of the base bid; the board voted 5-0 to approve both projects after motions by Vice Chairman Geyen and a second from Supervisor Nelson.
Maintenance estimated the 20% add-on for work on 156th Street by Elder (north of the freeway) would cost about $14,693.00 and noted water expenses for 150th and the intercity portion would be about $3,000. Staff warned that maximum overages for both additional projects could reach approximately $35,000 — about $40,000 when including water — and recommended not doing the Intercity Silver Creek add-on because it carries the highest risk for overages. Allied is scheduled to begin work Monday, June 29.
