Council approves Flintco substitution to complete Public Works building after contractor default
Summary
Council approved a substitution agreement to bring Flintco in as replacement contractor for the Manville Public Works facility following default of the original contractor; the bonding company provided funds and Flintco will complete the project under a substitution agreement.
Manville — After an executive‑session legal update, the City Council unanimously approved a substitution agreement with Flintco to complete construction of the Manville Public Works facility, invoking the project’s performance bond after the original contractor defaulted.
Staff said the bonding company issued funds related to the contractor default and Flintco — the firm that constructed the recently completed police facility — agreed to perform the remaining work. City Manager Dan Bobby described the arrangement as a favorable resolution that will allow construction to resume under a replacement contractor with prior local experience.
Why it matters: Acceptance of a substitution agreement and coordination with the bonding company allows the city to finish a critical municipal facility and limit additional delay. Council approved the agreement subject to final review by the city attorney.
Council action: Mayor Dan Davis moved to approve the substitution agreement with Flintco, subject to final city‑attorney approval; the motion was seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Lands and passed unanimously, 7–0. Staff said the bonding company has provided a check and that Flintco would assume responsibility for completion and for resolving remaining claims with the surety.
Ending: No additional items were tied to the substitution approval at the time of the vote; staff will return with contract documents for final signature and will coordinate completion timelines with Flintco and project stakeholders.
