Dissent: None

City Engineer Morgan Dolley presented the recommendation to award the construction contract for the 2024 Pavement Management Project. Five bids were received, with Asphalt Surface Technologies Corporation being the low bidder. Staff recommended awarding the base bid plus alternate one (Charles Street North from 13th to 17th) within budget, deferring alternate two (Cow Place East) to the following year. Discussion included potential inflation effects on the delayed alternate and the priority of Alternate One streets due to greater need. The Construction Services proposal from WSB for inspection and quality control was also presented for approval.
