A new asphalt patch is due to be laid soon at City Hall. Approving a bid by Monarch for 2 1/2 inches of black asphalt at 353 South Broadway, the council chose between two bids, one from Senn and the other from Mon –
arch. It ultimately chose Monarch, new black –
top to cost $30,569.
The first bid, by Senn, presumed the re – moval of existing blacktop and concrete along with base course and rough grading by others.
Then proposing a finish grade, water and compact with 2 1/2 inches or 1,670 total square yards of asphalt with flaggers included for $34,265 and line painting for $750, the bid was specified good for 30 days.
As to Monarch, their bid included a 2 1/2 inch option for 1,720 square yards at a lump sum of $30,569, with removal of existing pavement and concrete by others but no line painting.
An alternative bid by Monarch also offered a three-inch paving option for $36,153.
The areas to be paved measure out in three installments. The first of the portions relates to the area directly in front of the building, measuring 62.5 feet by 128 feet. The second along the north side includes a portion along – side the police addition and measures 115 feet by 21 feet. The third includes an area to the south measuring 128 feet by 33 feet in all, be – fore excluding 802 square feet from the work area the city hall drive thru and a grass patch, where no work is planned.
"Well they're both going to give quality material," Ward 1 alderman Mark Fitzsim – mons said for asphalt from each company as discussion was made on each option.
"They are," city employee Dean Schneider said. Discussion briefly touched on whether the three-inch Monarch bid would be better, based on the fact that Stanley police offer a variety of DMV services including vehicle inspections.
"I haven't had any monster truck inspec – tions yet," police chief Lance Weiland said of blacktop thickness needs for the joint City Hall/Police Station parking lot. The city then chose to go with Monarch's first bid of $30,569 as compared to $34,265 for Senn, with line painting held off for later. With that in mind, expect new asphalt soon down at city hall in Stanley.
