Board awards Palos West parking lot contract to Abbey Construction for about $1.13 million
Summary
The Board of Education awarded the Palos West parking lot base bid and an alternate for barrier gates to Abbey Construction Company; the board recorded a roll-call vote approving the award.
The Palos School District 118 Board of Education on Tuesday awarded the Palos West parking lot construction project to Abbey Construction Company for the base bid of $1,092,355 and alternate No. 1 for parking lot barrier gates for $39,964.
Why it matters: The board said the low bidder came in under the district estimate, and the award authorizes work that includes resurfacing and safety improvements at Palos West.
During the meeting the motion to award the project named Abbey Construction Company as the lowest responsible bidder. A board member noted that bids for the work (excluding barrier gates) came in lower than the district estimate of about $1,110,000. The board voted by roll call to approve the award; members indicated “yes” during the recorded vote.
The action authorizes the district to move forward with contracting for the base scope and the barrier-gate alternate. The transcript does not include contract start or completion dates or additional contract terms.
