The Fishers Board of Public Works and Safety approved the second and final road resurfacing contract for 2026.

The board awarded the contract to Howard Companies on a bid of $1,954,855.34. A Community Crossings Matching Grant will cover up to $977,427.67 of the cost.

Roadways and neighborhoods are prioritized for resurfacing based on the PASER rating of their pavement. PASER, which stands for Pavement Surface Evaluation and Rating, gauges road condition through visual inspection rather than expensive automated equipment. An evaluator drives or walks a road segment and assigns a score based on what can be seen — cracking, rutting, potholes, surface wear, drainage problems and similar distresses.

The following resurfacing projects are included in the contract:

In other board action:

Three Neighborhood Vibrancy Grants received final approval, for Royalwood, Sutton Crossing and Sunblest Farms.

The board also approved the pre-ordering of streetlights for a roundabout coming to 131st Street and Brooks School Road. City staff requested approval now because of the lead time needed to acquire the 10 lights the project requires. The total cost is $105,590.
