City council will hold a special meeting tonight to approve two construction contracts.

The council will open with a discussion of the pavement resurfacing of Airport Beach Road and East Broadway. City staff accepted bids from two firms for the engineering and design phase of the project, and they suggest awarding the $204,000 contract to PND Engineers. According to a memo from City Manager Chris Hladick, the city is hoping to accelerate the pavement resurfacing project and start work on these two roads in the next few months because of winter deterioration. Council is expected to allocate $4 million more to the project as summer approaches.

City council will also discuss a resolution that would grant Northern Mechanical a $1.3 million contract for the Summer Bay Road re-alignment project. Right now, the city is working on expanding the landfill, and Summer Bay Road needs to be redirected around the new boundary. Northern Mechanical submitted the lowest of three bids, and sufficient funding has already been allocated toward the project.

Council will vote on both resolutions during the new business portion of the meeting.

The meeting will convene at 7pm in city hall council chambers. It is expected to last 45 minutes.
