The Northwell Village Board approved awarding a $71,200 contract to Patriot Pavement Maintenance for crack sealing on 17 streets across two subdivisions, to be paid from motor-fuel-tax funds.

Staff said village staff prepared the project specifications, bid and construction management. The village received three bids; staff recommended Patriot Pavement Maintenance as the lowest responsive bidder. The board approved the award by roll call.

Why this matters: crack sealing is a preventive pavement maintenance strategy intended to keep water from infiltrating the pavement and extending pavement life.

What the board did: approved the contract and authorized staff to proceed with construction management under the specified funding source.
