Police station bids exceed budget; committee to work with low bidder to identify cost savings
Summary
Bids for the planned Caribou police station came in over budget. The council's review committee will collaborate with the low bidder to find potential cost-saving measures.
The Caribou City Council received a report June 30 that bids opened on June 18 for the planned police station exceeded the city’s budget, and staff and a review committee will work with the low bidder to identify possible cost savings.
City Manager Penny told the council the police station bids exceeded budget and the committee is working with the low bidder to look for potential reductions. "All exceeded the budget, so the committee is working with a low bidder to identify potential cost savings," Penny reported.
Council members did not vote on any contract at the meeting; the item is in active review and subject to further committee recommendations and potential budget adjustments. The council will receive follow-up information on whether the city can revise the project scope, identify savings with the low bidder, or return for new appropriations.
