CITY MANAGER’S OFFICE 
 
MEMORANDUM 
 
TO:  City Council  
DATE:  September 4, 2026  
FROM: Bridget Roberts, Interim City Manager  
RE: RFB 26-06 – Repair, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation of Local Streets 
 
Overview 
I wanted to provide a brief update regarding  RFB 26 -06 – Repair, Maintenance, and 
Rehabilitation of Local Streets, which will appear on the September agenda. 
Background 
The FY 2026-27 street paving and resurfacing bid was previously discussed with Council. Staff 
had initially recommended delaying the bid based on asphalt pricing, contractor availability, and 
concerns that bidding under the conditions at that time could reduce the amount of paving the 
City would be able to complete with the available funding. 
At the August 18, 2026, Regular Session, Council passed a motion directing the City Manager 
to have the Public Works Director complete the bidding process immediately. Following 
Council's direction, Public Works and Purchasing proceeded with the advertisement. 
Current Status 
The bid opening was originally scheduled for September 8th. However, due to the required 
length of the advertisement period and a necessary addendum that was posted this week, the bid 
opening is now scheduled for Thursday, September 10, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. This will provide 
prospective bidders enough time to review the addendum and make any necessary revisions to 
their bid submissions. 
If bids are received, staff will review them following the bid opening, and the results will be 
presented to Council for consideration in the agenda packet for the September 15, 2026, Regular 
Session.
