The Rio Rancho governing body voted June 25 to award the Springer Drive Reconstruction project to Albuquerque Asphalt Inc. for $2,898,444.71, including gross-receipts taxes.
Director Gottlieb told council the work will reconstruct the entire roadway—removing and replacing existing asphalt—add a sewer-line stub for future utilities work, and improve Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility along the corridor. "It is anticipated that this project will begin in August and should take around 6 months to complete," Gottlieb said.
Councilors praised the project as long‑needed local infrastructure work. Councilor Tyler thanked staff and the voters for approving the bond that funds the project.
The contract will be funded from the voter‑approved 2026 general obligation road-bond proceeds and carries the project-specific timeline described by staff. The council approved the award by roll call.
Next steps: City staff will finalize contract documents and coordinate preconstruction activities and public notices before work begins in August.
