Council advised to reject seal-coat bid; staff flags larger pavement-funding choices ahead of CIP
Staff recommended rejecting a single bid of $631,155 for the 2026 seal-coat project—about 80% over the $385,000 estimate—and warned the council that rising costs and limited bidders may force shifting funds from seal coat to more expensive asphalt overlays or exploring in-house seal-coating capability during the upcoming CIP process.
