Council Consideration of a Bid Award for the Large Asphalt Patch Project to S&S Builders, LLC, in the Amount of $175,770.90 (1% Project).

Lincoln.  Patching will include removal of failed paving, 18 inch deep subgrade preparation, 6 inches of aggregate base, and 6 inches of asphaltic concrete paving.

The agreement allows for 30 working days to substantially complete all the work.  The patch on 7th Street will close 7th between Gillette Avenue and Carey Avenue.  This work must be completed within 10 working days in order to reduce the impact on traffic near Twin Spruce Junior High School.
