Title
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CHANGE ORDER TO THE CONTRACT WITH RONYAK PAVING, INC. UNDER THE 2018 ASPHALT RESURFACING PROGRAM; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Executive Summary: At the Council retreat that was held on January 20, 2018, Council directed staff to add an additional $500,000 in alternate overlay and resurfacing roads to the current 2018 Asphalt Resurfacing Program. Following the retreat staff determined that the City of Akron is planning to repair the waterline on Middleton Road in 2018.
Therefore, staff is recommending Council approve only an additional $400,000 to perform the additional concrete overlays to the Ronyak Contract in order to retain a portion of the needed funds later this year for the resurfacing of Middleton Road following the waterline construction by Akron. The total cost of the resurfacing of Middleton Road is approximately $400,000, with Akron agreeing to pay for 1/2 the cost following their repair work. Hudson's share of Middleton Road will be $200,000.

The current 2018 budget includes $1,100,000 for asphalt road resurfacing and $200,000 for concrete road overlays. Our recommendation is to add $400,000 of the General Fund overage to the overall road program for the alternate list of concrete...
