Board approves additional chipseal work despite maintenance warning of overage risk
The Silver Creek Township Board voted 5-0 to approve two road add-on projects tied to Allied’s chipseal contract, including a 20% add-on for 156th Street estimated at about $14,693; maintenance warned Intercity Silver Creek posed the highest overage risk and estimated maximum overages of roughly $35,000 plus about $3,000 for water.
The full story
Maintenance told the board Allied holds the bid for a 4-mile loop and the township can add 20% to the contract to include 156th Street by Elder north of the freeway for approximately $14,693.00. Maintenance explained that contracts are written so the township pays for materials used and quotes can vary from the engineer’s estimate; total Intercity Silver Creek work would be an add-on quote rather than part of Allied’s original bid.
