The Crown Point Board of Public Works and Safety on March 5 accepted a low, responsive bid of $158,007.15 from Milestone Contractors to perform ADA accessibility upgrades funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

Greg, who presented the item, told the board the CDBG funding will cover the ADA work. Alex from the legal department said the engineering review confirmed Milestone as the lowest, most reasonable and responsible bidder.

Mayor Peter D. Lane moved to accept the bid; the board approved the motion with no recorded opposition. The board commended Greg for securing the grant funding that covers the project.

Background: The city’s engineering department reviewed quantity-based bids as part of the CDBG procurement process. The work is intended to improve ADA access at multiple city locations; specific project sites were not enumerated in the discussion.
