D | Consideration and Approval of Construction Contract: Recommended Approval of the Construction Contract with Mountain High Excavation, LLC. in the amount of $845,051.00 for the Aztec Street Improvements Project. | ||||||
Project Manager Eli Reisner addressed Council stating that staff recommends approval of the contract. The project is a Road Repair and Street Safety (RRSS) project located on Aztec Street from Santa Fe to Francis Short Pond. Councilmember Whelan asked why a full road will not be put in. Mr. Reisner explained that the RRSS funding has limits to improve existing structures and they are not able to use the money to add curb, gutter, and sidewalks. Councilmember Whelan asked if there will be bike paths. Mr. Reisner stated that there are not currently bike lanes and the low traffic does not warrant a bike lane and the road is already bike friendly. |
