We are officially moving forward with the Mayor’s Safe Paths Initiative to revitalize our community’s streets!
This is a massive win for Pocomoke, and I cannot wait to see these long-awaited improvements finally come to life for our residents.
Last night was a BIG win for Pocomoke!
The Mayor and Council officially selected Mike Houck Construction, LLC to move forward with our street repaving and repair project as part of the Mayor’s Safe Paths Initiative. This is real progress and exactly the kind of investment our city needs.
After a competitive bid process, here’s how things came in:
Mike Houck Construction, LLC — $523,335.97 (Selected)
Terra Firma of Delmarva, Inc. — $557,569.00
Asphalt Maintenance, LLC — $594,677.00
Mike Houck Construction submitted the lowest responsible bid while meeting all project requirements, allowing us to deliver quality work while being mindful of taxpayer dollars.
Now let’s talk about what this means for our community.
We are not just patching roads. We are making real, lasting improvements across Pocomoke. This project includes milling and repaving nearly 23,000 square yards of roadway, installing a brand new asphalt surface for smoother and longer lasting streets, removing and replacing damaged curbs, sidewalks, and driveways, installing ADA compliant ramps to improve accessibility, and addressing underlying road issues with targeted base repairs.
This is how we bring our streets back to standard the right way.
There are still a few final steps before construction begins, but I made it clear that we expect this project to be completed by July 1. We are moving with urgency and purpose.
We will be sharing an update later this week announcing which streets will be included in Phase 1, so stay tuned.
Pocomoke is on the move, and the Safe Paths Initiative is getting it done.
