Lansing awards Kenneth Bernard Park bridge repair contract to low bidder

The Lansing City Council on Sept. 25 voted to award the Kenneth Bernard Park entrance bridge repair contract to Liner Weaver Construction for $40,360, with a recommended 10% contingency.

City staff opened bids on Sept. 25 and reported two offers: Piper Corn at $48,146 and Liner Weaver at $40,360. Staff recommended accepting the low bid from Liner Weaver Construction and adding a 10% contingency for the project. A motion to accept the bid and award the project passed on a roll call vote.

Council members asked no additional questions during the discussion; one councilmember noted staff had already answered their questions. The city did not identify additional funding sources or a timeline for construction during the council discussion.

The contract award is limited to the scope described in the bid packet; the council recorded no amendments or alternative funding condition during the meeting.
