Summary
The council accepted the low bid from M and N Construction for Ballot Park Improvement Phase 3. The base bid for the restroom was $627,000 and total with alternates was $805,800; staff said the bids are within the project budget.
The Tupelo City Council accepted the low bid from M and N Construction for Ballot Park Improvement Phase 3 and authorized the mayor to execute contract documents after legal review.
Alex, a city staff member, told the council that the base bid from M and N Construction for the restroom was $627,000. He said Alternate 1 covered two small pavilions outside the restroom and Alternate 2 would provide a larger pavilion to replace the existing larger structure. Alex said the total including alternates was $805,800 and that the bids are within the project budget. "So the total for that was $805,800 and this is within budget," Alex said.
Council members who spoke noted the contractor's competence based on prior local work. The council moved, seconded and approved acceptance of the bid and authorized the mayor to sign contract documents upon legal review. The transcript shows a voice vote of approval; there is no roll-call tally in the record.
Why it matters: The award advances planned restroom and pavilion improvements at Ballot Park, a municipal park improvement that will affect park users and scheduled construction plans.
