In April the city of Mexico approved a contract for crack and joint seal work on more than a dozen roads. That work, amounting to almost 31,000 square yards of pavement, has been completed.
Because the project came in under budget, it left sufficient funds for additional work. As a result, Mexico's City Council last week approved additional chip seal work on Morris and Littleby Streets.
"We were very fortunate through coop bidding," city engineer Drew Williford said, explaining the savings.
The city entered into a cooperative arrangement, bundling multiple projects up for bid. Missouri Petroleum Products Company had the winning bid for the seal work.
For the original project, the cost was $72,789. Mexico will spend an additional $16,862 for the additional work.
Crews will seal joints and asphalt overlays on sections of Morris Street from Monroe to Liberty. On Littleby, the work will begin at the intersection of Concrete and proceed to the northern city limits.
The City Council unanimously approved the agreement.
