Wasilla asphalt bid leaves residents guessing which roads get fixed
The City of Wasilla opened bids May 18 for asphalt patching on city roads, but the public notice does not say which streets or neighborhoods are included.
Bids are due June 1 at 3 p.m. to the Finance Department at 290 E Herning Avenue. Third-party bid sites estimate the contract value between $50,000 and $250,000.
The notice tells vendors to get full documents through the city procurement portal or DemandStar. The work covers "city roads," which suggests scattered patching at multiple locations as directed by public works staff.
The work will likely address winter damage and freeze-thaw cracks on local roads within city limits. Without a street list in the public notice, neighborhoods cannot know whether their problem areas will be addressed.
Residents who want to know whether their street is included can contact the Public Works Department or attend the next city council meeting to ask how patching priorities are set.
