Board awards $79,500 Beachwood Park paving contract to lowest bidder

The Scottsburg Board of Public Works and Safety voted Aug. 27 to award a paving contract for Beachwood Park to the lowest bidder at $79,500. Staff said the project covers about 80,000 square feet at 1.5-inch depth and includes the park entrance by the shelter, parking in front of the basketball court and another large parking lot near the road; it does not include the concrete basketball courts.
Four quotes were received: one at $95,900, another at $84,900, a third at $81,950, and the low bid at $79,500. The board motion awarded the work to the low bidder listed in the packet (recorded as Wingham in meeting remarks). Board members noted that the same contractor previously resurfaced local trails and did satisfactory work.
The board approved the contract on a voice vote and directed staff to proceed with contracting and scheduling.
