Northern Asphalt, which is part of Riccelli-Northern in North Syracuse, was the low bidder for the city's 2025 road program. The Auburn City Council will vote at its meeting Thursday to formally award the $784,405 contract, which includes $769,405 for paving and $15,000 for curb and sidewalk installations.

The city received three bids, including Northern Asphalt's, for the road program. Paul F. Vitale, Inc., an Auburn-area firm, submitted an $809,540 bid. Villager Construction, which is based in Fairport, bid $1,070,565 for the contract.

Vitale was the contractor for the city's program from 2019 through 2023. It was one of two bidders last year, but Northern Asphalt won the contract.

In March, the city's engineering department presented its plan for the 2025 road program. It will focus on seven streets:

• Milligan Street, from Arch Street to Chapman Avenue

• Clymer Street, from South Street to between 32 and 34 Clymer St.

• Clymer Street, from Thornton Avenue to Garrow Street

• Chedell Place, from Easterly Avenue to the end

• Hardenbergh Avenue, from Genesee Street to Baker Street

• Wood Street, from Genesee Street to Arch Street

• Columbus Street, from Arterial East south to the railroad tracks

Other streets could be repaved. North Street, from the city line to the railroad tracks near York Street, is one of the options. The alternate list includes:

• Mattie Place, from Mattie Street to the end

• Garrow Street Extension, from Clymer Street to Valley Drive

• Jefferson Street, from Orchard Street to Clark Street

• Van Anden Street, from Cross Street to Washington Street

• Chestnut Street, from East Genesee Street to Walnut Street

Auburn City Manager Jeff Dygert has said the engineering department will provide an updated road program presentation at an upcoming meeting, but they are waiting on more information about state funding. The 2025-26 state budget has not been finalized, which has left municipalities uncertain about how much funding they will receive this year.
