Council committee backs Dorset Avenue widening, awards resurfacing contract for $326,251

The Infrastructure & Environment Committee reviewed the 2016 Dorset Avenue improvements project and recommended awarding the resurfacing contract to the low responsible bidder in the amount of $326,251.

Staff described the project as widening Dorset to the village standard in the west end and resurfacing elsewhere; the Northwest Water Commission will fund repairs in an area disturbed by a prior water-main project. Staff said there is a cash deposit to cover costs for widening across one development frontage and that the village intends to recapture prorated costs from eight lots east of the development when they subdivide. Staff recommended approval of the low responsive bidder and the committee approved placement on the consent agenda. “Ultimately, we're recommending your approval of the low responsible bidder... in an amount of $326,251,” staff said.
