On October 7, 2022, the Fallon City Council held a special meeting to award A & K Earth Movers the bid for the A Street reconstruction project between Venturacci Lane and North Maine Street.
“We have several street projects this year,” said Bob Erickson, City of Fallon Chief of Staff. “A Street is a priority along with Whitaker to Rancho and then also Rancho Drive.”
Erickson said the city had gone out to bid earlier this year on the A Street project but did not receive any bids. Feedback from potential bidders indicated the job was considered to be too small in light of how busy the contractors are. Because of that, the decision was made to combine all three projects and go out for one project that would be a larger bid potential.
A & K was the low bidder, coming in at $3,250,000. “This will be a fall/spring project,” said Erickson, and is expected to begin over the next month. “It usually takes a bit of lead time to get the project going, to get bonding, etc.”
Another priority road project is Auction Road, which Erickson said is also in the works. Negotiations are ongoing regarding extending Whitaker Lane north to Auction Road, and the city is working on potential grant funding for that project.
In addition to working on these priority roads, the city has also been working on slurry sealing this week to maintain several miles of main roads throughout the city.
