At the June 4, 2026 Foxfield Board of Trustees meeting, the Board approved SEH’s engineering fee estimate for the Town’s 2026 Pavement Repair and Surface Treatment Program. Discussion covered crack seal tonnage, material availability, contingencies, and the fact that shoulder work was not yet included, with SEH agreeing to address the Board’s concerns during field review. The Town Administrator also noted Terracare’s desire to bid for the pavement work and will coordinate with SEH on a bid from Terracare, suggesting that construction services are still to be procured even though design/engineering is in place.This is commercially important because SEH is the selected engineer for 2026 road maintenance, but the physical pavement repair and surface treatment contract appears open for competition. Vendors in roadway construction, crack sealing, and surface treatment can position to bid the upcoming work, offer alternative materials if there are shortages, or pursue subcontracting relationships with SEH or Terracare. Conversations should focus on Foxfield’s specific concerns about crack conditions, budget flexibility after SEH’s field review, and how to incorporate shoulder work if the Board decides to expand scope.

SEH has an existing relationship with a contractor named Vance; Terracare is a current public works provider and has expressed interest in bidding this program.
