The City Administrator’s June 2 update states that Public Works staff are working on the next set of roads to resurface, beginning with the southeast section, and will bring a proposal from C.W. Roberts Contracting, Inc. to Council for approval. C.W. Roberts has recently completed resurfacing work in the City’s Commerce Center and NE 9th Street, with positive feedback from Council, and the May 2026 warrant register shows payments exceeding 489,000 from an Appropriations Grant Fund and additional smaller payments from the Public Facility Fund to C.W. Roberts. This indicates an ongoing, grant‑backed resurfacing program with C.W. Roberts as the primary incumbent contractor and a new proposal for the next phase imminent. While the core paving work is likely to continue with this vendor, there are opportunities for related construction services such as drainage improvements, striping and signage, ADA ramps, traffic control, materials testing, and potentially competitive positioning for future surfacing phases as grants or budgets are renewed.
