The bid specifications were completed on our behalf by Town & Country Engineering and included chip sealing and fog coating 16 town roads, totaling 10.2 miles in length. Two bids were received to complete the required work for 2026, one from Fahrner Asphalt Sealers, LLC. and one from Pitlik & Wick. Both bids were reviewed individually with each one fully meeting bid package specifications including completion in 2026. Fahrner’s bid package totaled $260,138.42. Pitlik & Wick’s package totaled $251,972.64. In all respects other than cost, the bids were virtually identical, so Pitlik and Wick’s lower total cost makes them the successful bidder. It should also be noted, Pitlik & Wick’s bid is under the 2026 the town’s budgeted amount of $255,000 while Fahner’s bid was $5,136.42 more than its budget. By unanimous vote, the Road Committee therefore recommends Pitlik & Wick be awarded the contract to complete the 2026 road Improvement work in the amount of $251,972.64. B.
