What the records say

Materials for the June 8, 2026 Marysville City Council Regular Meeting listed a recommended motion for the 2026 Pavement Preservation Project under Review Bids. The motion would authorize the Mayor to sign and execute a contract with Reece Construction Company for $4,550,000.00 and approve a 10% management reserve of $455,000.00, for a total allocation of $5,005,000.00 1. The agenda bill states bids were opened May 28, 2026, with seven bids received and Reece Construction Company the apparent low bidder; the engineer's estimate was $5,125,000.00 1. The bill also states the contract amount exceeds the allocated budget for the 2026 Pavement Preservation Program and that a future budget amendment funded through the Transportation Benefit District will be necessary to cover the overage 1.
