The Norwalk committee on Feb. 5 advanced two related transportation items to the full council: authorization for Mayor Barbara C. Smith to execute a contract with Avidy Excavators LLC for project TMP-2025-6 (South Main Street veil spur and berm removal) not to exceed $849,497, and authorization for the director of Transportation, Mobility and Parking to execute orders on that contract up to $84,949.70 (a 10% contingency).
Ben (transportation staff) said the work and scope were discussed at a public information meeting earlier that week. He told members this committee action is a technical correction to add a second account number after the city received an additional $500,000 in state appropriations two weeks after the original Jan. 13 approval of the contract.
"That's the $500,000 through state appropriations," Ben told the committee, explaining the reason for updating funding lines on both the primary contract and the contingency line.
Councilmembers commented positively on outreach and the project’s need; Chair Josh Goldstein called the vote and the committee unanimously advanced both B1 and B2 to the full council for final authorization.
The item will be on the full council agenda for final contract execution if approved by council members.
