Summary Report:
The City Council is being asked to accept the public improvements for the 2025 Reclamation and Overlay Project STRT2025-A80 and approve final payment to Crane Creek Asphalt in the amount of $71,801.33 (Attachment 2).

There were three Change Orders during construction that brought the final construction contract amount to $2,115,096.13 which was within the approved project budget.
