The Pavement Resurfacing project is intended to rehabilitate streets that need maintenance, but do not require a full reconstruction. The selected streets are good candidates for surface milling and hot-mix asphalt overlays.
Two streets have been identified for this project. The outside lanes of 23rd Avenue from S. 35th Street to 23rd Avenue, and North Broadway from East Orchard Avenue to Gunn Avenue.
This project was included in the FY24 CIP and is funded with $750,000 in Local Option Sales Tax funds.
The bids received were almost double the Engineer’s opinion of probable cost. It is recommended to reject the bids and re-bid the project. After discussions with the bidders, a more flexible schedule for the Contractors to complete the work should result in bids that are more competitive. The plan is to rebid the project this fall with a completion date in 2024.

Approval of this resolution to reject all bids and re-advertise the project. |
