Redevelopment commission reports single bid for Newport Landing sewer extension; soil-removal bids to be solicited
Summary
The La Porte Redevelopment Commission reported one bid from Pavey for a sewer extension to the Grand Heritage Credit Union site ($58,270) and authorized solicitation of bids to remove 1,406 cubic yards of soil on the remaining 10 acres, with an upper bid cap of $70,300.
The city’s Redevelopment Commission reported to the Common Council on June 2 that only one bid was received for a sewer extension project in Newport Landing and the commission approved soliciting bids for soil removal on the remaining parcel.
Council President Franke said the lone bid for the sewer extension came from Pavey at $58,270 to extend the sewage line to the Grand Heritage Credit Union site. The commission also authorized soliciting bids to remove 1,406 cubic yards of soil from the remaining 10 acres; that soil-removal contract is to be solicited with a cap so bids do not exceed $70,300.
Why it matters: extending sewer service is typically a prerequisite for development on previously unserved parcels; the soil-removal work is part of preparing the remaining acreage for future use.
Discussion versus decision: the Redevelopment Commission opened and reviewed bids (reported to council). The report indicates the commission approved soliciting soil-removal bids with the specified quantity and maximum bid amount. The council received the report; no separate council vote was recorded in the meeting minutes.
What’s next: the commission will proceed with the soil-removal bid solicitation and proceed with contracting consistent with the approved bid cap.
