Board approves additional chipseal work despite maintenance warning of overage risk
Summary
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.
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.
Maintenance estimated the total road projects would equal about $605,349 and said water expenses for 150th and Intercity would be about $3,000. Staff estimated maximum overages for the two additional projects at about $35,000 plus water (roughly $40,000). Maintenance recommended against adding the Intercity Silver Creek segment because it represented the highest risk for overages, but on motion by Vice Chairman Geyen, seconded by Supervisor Nelson, the board approved both projects; the motion carried 5-0.
