Committee approves street striping, sidewalk contract awards and other capital items

The City of Fenton committee on Dec. 12 approved multiple public-works contracts and forwarded several capital items to the full board.

Public works reported America’s Parking Remarking Company as the low responsive bidder for the city’s street striping contract at $50,310 for year one with modest renewal adjustments; the committee approved the contract. The city also accepted a low bid from R.V. Wagner for the 2025 concrete slab and sidewalk replacement program; staff said the submitted bid fell within the $1.5 million budget for the program.

Staff also presented a change order to add roof and fascia replacement for the Budweil Pavilion to the ongoing pavilion project; Maxim Contracting submitted a change order of $17,191 and the committee approved forwarding the change order. Gateway Tree Care LLC’s proposed tree-removal contract was forwarded after staff noted historical usage and a proposed daily-rate adjustment.

Public works said engineering design services for phase 1 of the Budweil Annex (parking and ADA access to Fabick Nature Preserve) will be handled by the city’s engineering firm Cochran under a supplemental agreement to keep tight grant timelines; board authorized moving that agreement forward to meet the grant schedule.
