Council authorizes Westfield Center structural repairs contract to sole bidder; $585,850 plus contingency
Summary
The city authorized a structural‑repairs contract for the Westfield Center to the sole bidder for $585,850 and approved a 10% contingency; the meeting record contains an inconsistent company name (Pullman SST vs. Coleman SST) that the article notes for verification.
Trenton City Council authorized awarding the Westfield Center structural repairs contract to the sole bidder and approved a 10% contingency at the July 21 meeting, with the contract amount read into the record as $585,850.
DPS Director Tim Sargent told council the city’s municipal building improvement bond funded the structural work and that bids were opened June 24. He said only one bid was submitted and Fishback (the city’s consultant) recommended the bidder on the strength of prior experience. Sargent moved to award the contract in the amount of $585,850 and asked for a 10% contingency for unforeseen conditions; council voted and approved the request unanimously.
The meeting transcript contains inconsistent references to the bidder’s name: Sargent initially identified the company as Pullman SST but later in the presentation the company name was read as Coleman SST. City staff or the purchasing records should be consulted to confirm the final awarded contractor name before publication or procurement action. The council vote authorized the award to the sole bidder as read into the record and the contingency.
