At the March 9 Infrastructure & Technology Committee meeting, Aurora officials approved several major spending items focused on public safety and utility infrastructure.
One key decision involves our public safety communications. The committee approved a $284,189 extension for the OpenSky system maintenance. This move provides a bridge for the city while it undergoes a transition to a new L3 Harris P25 standard system. Officials noted that if the new system is completed ahead of schedule, the city may be eligible for a refund on these extension costs.
In Ward 1, the committee prioritized a critical water main replacement on Starr Avenue. The project, awarded to Girardi Water and Sewer Company for $467,106, targets a section of pipe with a history of frequent breaks. Importantly, this project will also replace approximately 16 lead water services, addressing a significant health and safety concern for residents in that area.
Additionally, the city approved a $1,058,200 contract with Schroeder for citywide asphalt services. This contract covers essential maintenance, including sidewalk trip hazard repairs and pavement patching following water and sewer work. The city aims to complete the first batch of these repairs following the winter period, with a target deadline of Memorial Day.
