Summary

Council authorized extending the Al’s Asphalt contract to rehabilitate Edgemont Street for $163,830 with a requested 10% contingency; funds are available in the local streets capital improvement account.

The Trenton City Council on Aug. 4 authorized an extension of the Al’s Asphalt contract to complete rehabilitation of Edgemont Street, with a project cost of $163,830 and a requested 10% contingency for unforeseen construction issues.

Kevin Sargent, the city’s director of public services, said Edgemont Street received a poor PASER rating in the city’s 2024 pavement study, has surpassed its useful life and needs replacement. The city still has an open contract with Al’s Asphalt from a DDA roads replacement project; Sargent said Al’s would extend its contract pricing for the Edgemont work.

Sargent presented a letter of recommendation from the city engineer and requested authorization to extend the contract. Council members moved and supported the authorization; no further discussion was recorded and the motion passed unanimously. Sargent said funds are available in the local streets capital improvement account.

The council also approved, separately, work on a nearby walking path (see related item) and other capital projects presented by DPS during the meeting.
