Summary

The Board approved a $121,800 contract with Milestone Contractors to repair or construct 29 ADA curb ramps and related sidewalk and asphalt work at multiple city locations after a qualifications process; Milestone was the low bidder.

The Board of Public Works on July 15 awarded a contract to Milestone Contractors LP for $121,800 to repair or construct 29 accessible curb ramps, associated sidewalk sections and asphalt patching at multiple locations across Bloomington.

Adam Wason, public works director, said the city issued a request for qualifications and received proposals from Milestone Contractors ($121,800), Groomer Construction ($138,018) and E and B Paving ($183,600); Weddell Brothers did not respond. The identified curb ramp locations include South Lincoln at Davis, Dixie, Dodds and First; and East Cottage Grove at North Dunn, North Grant, North Lincoln and North Washington. Staff recommended awarding the contract to Milestone as the lowest responsive proposer.

A board member asked for clarification on contract classification, noting service agreements are sometimes used for unspecified future work; Wason clarified this contract is effectively a construction contract for the listed ramp locations rather than a professional services agreement. The motion to award the contract to Milestone passed on roll call; Roach and Carone recorded "aye."
