This section of Georgia Street, between Eighth Avenue and Kenneth Street, will be resurfaced as part of a 3.25-mile paving project approved by the Crestview City Council.

CRESTVIEW — With its unanimous approval of the Monday evening consent agenda, the City Council approved repaving several Crestview city streets.

Public Works Director Wayne Steele said the project, which will provide an asphalt overlay on 3.25 miles of streets, was included in his Streets Department 2015-16 budget.

The winning $298,600 bid by James David Site Prep and Underground of Baker was under the project’s $400,000 budgeted amount. James David will partner with Tony Helms, an asphalt specialist.

Two other bids, one for $334,170 and another for $367,942, were also received. The project, which has 11 components, will require 3,555 tons of asphalt at the winning bid’s $83.99 per ton cost.
