Summary

City accepted bids for annual equipment and hot-mix resurfacing and approved PLM Associates’ recommendation to award Ripley City Park restroom construction to ABES Contracting LLC for $387,480, contingent on review by the LPRF program.

The Ripley Board of Mayor and Aldermen approved bid recommendations for annual road-equipment and hot-mix resurfacing contracts and voted to award the Ripley City Park LPRF (Land and Water Conservation Fund-like) restroom-improvement contract to ABES Contracting LLC for $387,480, contingent on program review.

City staff reported a single hourly-equipment bid from SCT Contractors and separate hot-mix asphalt bids, with the low hot-mix price coming from Ford Construction at $125 per ton and the other hot-mix bid at $157 per ton. The board voted to accept SCT’s equipment bid and Ford Construction’s asphalt bid for the resurfacing work.

PLM Associates recommended awarding the City Park improvements contract to ABES Contracting LLC in the amount of $387,480. The mayor and aldermen called for a roll-call vote; the motion passed. The contract award is contingent upon review by the LPRF program, and the project consists of restroom construction at the top of the park near the amphitheater, as described in the bid materials.

No additional financing details or construction start dates were read into the public record at the meeting; a preconstruction meeting was referenced for other projects but not explicitly scheduled for the park restroom award in the board remarks.
