Andalay Construction Awarded $1.56 Million Contract for Road Preservation Project in District 5
The City Council approved a contract for the '2026 high-density mineral bond' project to Andalay Construction Inc. for an estimated amount of $1,556,203. This project focuses on applying a mineral bond overlay to approximately 66 miles of roads, primarily in District 5, which have a PCI (Pavement Condition Index) of 80 or better. The goal is to preserve the life of these roads, extending their lifespan by 10-15 years and potentially saving taxpayer money in the long run by delaying the need for more costly reconstruction. While primarily focused on higher PCI roads, the city acknowledges the need to address roads with lower PCI scores in the future.
