The Board of Public Works and Safety opened bids on May 7 for the West Main Street improvement project (Old Meridian Street to Guilford Road).
Brad Pease, Director of Engineering, read four bids. The transcript lists Calumet Civil Contractors Inc. at $2,827,000; Reith Riley Construction Co., Inc. at about $2,000,800 (transcript numbers include garbled cents); E & B Paving LLC at $3,003,681.70; and Morphy Construction Inc. at $3,500,000.
Why it matters: The bids establish the price range for a major corridor improvement. The transcript records only the bid-opening step; no award or recommendation was made at that time in the meeting. Staff recorded the numbers for later evaluation and recommendation.
Details and next steps: The board conducted a standard public bid opening; the transcript does not include a formal award, contractor selection, or funding breakdown. Further evaluation and an award decision will be handled in later proceedings.
Speakers and provenance: Brad Pease announced the bids during the bid-opening segment of the meeting.
