Council awards $147,013 sewer contract for Fairview Cemetery building to Christman Trucking
Summary
The council approved a $147,013 bid to Mark Christman Trucking for the Fairview Cemetery sanitary sewer project; staff and engineering consultant said the low bid was acceptable though above the engineer's estimate.
The Scottsbluff City Council awarded the contract for the Fairview Cemetery sanitary sewer project to Mark Christman Trucking for $147,013.
City staff told the council the bid was somewhat above the engineer’s estimate but that the engineer (Michael[s]) had reviewed the bid and recommended acceptance. Staff noted Christman Trucking has previously completed local projects for the city, including plaza work and other site improvements.
Staff said that, if awarded, the contractor would order a manhole and install sewer components in a sequence timed to avoid disruption when the city later mills and overlays 42nd Street (the work would be set so paving operations would not disrupt the new sewer). Council approved the award by motion and voice vote.
No contract start date was recorded in the transcript; staff emphasized the contractor’s prior work history as a reason for confidence in the bid.
