Lewistown approves $260,000 bid to replace City Hall concrete
Summary
The Lewistown City Commission approved a $260,000 bid from Century Construction to replace sidewalks, curbs and the fire-department driveway at City Hall, using state grant funds plus a 25% city match from building maintenance funds.
The Lewistown City Commission approved a $260,000 contract with Century Construction to replace concrete in front of City Hall, including sidewalks, curbs, accessible entrances and the fire-department driveway.
City Manager Holly Stokes told commissioners the project is the second of two items covered by state grant funding; the first was a generator and battery backup for the police department. Stokes said the concrete work includes replacing the curb and gutter, full-length sidewalks, two accessible entrances and a reinforced driveway to accommodate heavy fire apparatus.
The bid of $260,000 came from one responsive bidder, Century Construction, and was lower than the city estimate. Commissioners confirmed the grant covers 75% of the project and the city will provide a 25% match from building maintenance funds. Stokes said the city's slip-up grant allocation was roughly $480,000 split between this concrete project and the generator project, with the generator costing about $175,000.
Commissioners discussed staging for the fire department so rigs would not need to be parked outside during construction. Stokes said the city expects to use available space at the airport and public works to avoid leaving trucks exposed to weather.
A motion to approve the bid was made and seconded; a roll-call vote recorded recorded ayes and no recorded no votes. The motion carried and the contract award to Century Construction was approved.
