WHEREAS, the City of Seward received an unsolicited bid from Metco to pave a 930-

City Council Agenda Statement
Meeting Date: July 28, 2025
To: City Council
Through: Kat Sorensen, City Manager
From: Jason Bickling, Deputy City Manager
Subject: Resolution 2025-070: Authorizing the City Manager to Accept a Proposal
from Metco to Prep and Pave a Portion Phoenix Road for an Amount Not to
Exceed $165,000 and Appropriating Funds
Background and justification:
The City received an unsolicited bid from Metco to prep and pave a 930-foot section of Phoenix
Drive from where the City's pavement ends to the Hilltop subdivision development. Metco will
be paving for the Hilltop subdivision and will have an economy of scale for doing the work that
the City would not otherwise be able to attain as we don't have to pay mob and de -mob costs.
Work included in this bid: Fill bringing the road to grade, raising manholes and valves to grade,
final grade, minimum 2" D-1 under asphalt, 2" asphalt (approximately 24,400 square feet),
striping fog and center lines, and edging.
This will save the city in the long run as gravel roads require a lot of annual maintenance.
Pavement is also easier on the plowing equipment in the wintertime.
Included for reference is an agenda statement from the SMIC paving RFP for a similar -sized
portion of road. Metco is able to offer a significantly lower price.

Metco Alaska LLC, would like to submit a price to upgrade and pave Phoenix Road, extending to Dunham
Avenue. Currently Pheonix Road has a 930-foot section that is unpaved that leads to the new Hilltop
subdivision, which is scheduled for completion and paving this year. It seems illogical to leave a 930-foot
section of Phoenix Road gravel and unpaved.
Our proposal to complete Phoenix Avenue, extending to Dunham Drive, includes the following scope of
work:
• Construct approximately 930 linear feet of Phoenix Ave. extending to Dunham
approximately thirty linear feet, including fill needed to bring the road to grade.
• Raise the manholes and valves to grade.
• Final grade.
• Minimum 2" D-1 under asphalt
• 2" asphalt approximately 24,400 square feet.
• Stripping fog and center lines.
• Labor to Edge asphalt.
Total Lump Sum Price: $165,000.00
