WEIRTON The city is planning for this year’s street paving program, with a pair of resolutions set to go before Weirton Council during its meeting Monday.
The resolutions received recommendations from the city Finance Committee Wednesday.
Contracts, if approved, will include $859,280 for citywide milling and paving using general fund dollars, and $352,836 through Community Development Block Grant funds.
Both contracts are with Kelly Paving Co.
Public Works Director Rod Rosnick explained, in planning for the paving, he looked at last year’s costs of $22 per yard, and budgeted $24 per yard. Most bidders, he said, submitted proposals higher than that amount, but Kelly Paving bid between $17 and $18 per yard.
