The agenda item passed in a 6-0 vote with council member Robert Fiester absent. The projects will cost about $277,567 and include overlaying asphalt and wedge milling to facilitate connection to existing driveways.
How we got here
The city overlays asphalt roadways each year as part of the city’s Pavement Condition Index Program to assist in maintaining roadways and increasing their longevity, according to city documents.
Craig Circle, Spruce Drive, the Copperas Branch Park parking lot and marina parking lots were chosen for improvement this year due to deterioration.
The cost
Six general contractors placed bids on the project, per city documents. Advanced Paving Company quoted the price of around $277,567, which was the lowest bid received. According to city documents, the company has completed previous projects in the city.
The project will be funded through the general fund and the corps lease fund. Around $146,881 will come from the general fund and around $130,686 will come from the corps lease fund.
What’s next
Director of Marketing and Communications Laurie Mullens said work on the project is expected to begin in late July or early August.
