Board of Public Works approves RC Pavers low bid for 2025 alley paving
Summary
The Board of Public Works voted to award the 2025 Alley Paving Project to RC Pavers, the lowest of three bids, despite questions about budgeted amounts.
The Board of Public Works in Wausau voted May 27 to award the 2025 Alley Paving Project to RC Pavers, which submitted the lowest bid of $40,980.
The board considered three bids: RC Pavers at $40,980, an American asphalt contractor (listed in the packet at roughly $45,770–$47,700), and Haas at $59,713.50. A board member moved to accept RC Pavers’ bid and the motion carried after a second and a voice vote.
Board members asked whether the award exceeded the project budget. One board member said they had expected $35,000 and noted that assessment of asphalt costs was ongoing; another suggested tabling the item but then agreed to accept the low bid. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript; the motion passed on a voice vote.
The board did not record additional contract conditions or contingency details in the meeting discussion. The project award was presented as a straightforward acceptance of the low bidder; no further schedule or notice-to-proceed details were stated during the meeting.
The board moved to the next agenda item after the vote.
