Council reviews Salt Building bids; staff recommends CMG contracting within budget amendment
Summary
Council heard bid results for the Salt Building replacement: CMG Contracting lowest at about $690,000; council discussed recommending CMG with authorization not to exceed $775,000 and preparing a budget amendment.
Councilors reviewed three competitive bids for the village's Salt Building replacement and discussed next steps, including a recommendation to proceed with the lowest responsive bidder pending final specifications and a budget amendment.
Why it matters: The Salt Building project touches the village's capital budget and requires council to reconcile bids with available set‑aside funds before awarding a contract.
Bids reported: Cold Harbor approximately $1,398,338; Blue Streak approximately $850,000; CMG Contracting approximately $690,000 including electrical and walls. Council staff reported a project set‑aside of about $775,000 but said the current budget record showed lower available funds and that a budget amendment would be required.
Council discussion and next steps: Staff and the village engineer were directed to finalize specifications and provide detail before the next meeting so the solicitor can prepare legislation and a contract. Council discussed preparing a budget amendment and legislation to present on June 9 to authorize the contract and any supplemental appropriation. The recommendation discussed at the meeting was to pursue CMG Contracting and prepare legislation authorizing an agreement "not to exceed $775,000," subject to final engineer specifications and solicitor review.
No formal contract award vote occurred at the meeting; councilors directed staff to return with firm specifications, a budget amendment, and draft legislation for a subsequent meeting.
