Avon awarded $1.5 million Community Crossings grant; bid documents to be advertised by mid-April
Summary
Public Works Director Steve Moore told the council the town received a $1.5 million award from the Indiana Community Crossings program and staff are preparing bid documents to meet an April 15 deadline for grant awards.
Steve Moore, Avon public works director, told the council the town received $1,500,000 from the Indiana Community Crossings program and is preparing bid documents for project work; staff aim to have the award finalized by April 15 and have begun advertising the work.
Why it matters: The Community Crossings program funds road and bridge maintenance; the award will support Avon capital work scheduled for 2025 and requires timely procurement to meet program deadlines.
Moore said staff are finalizing bid documents and have already advertised some items so work can proceed this construction season. He also reported ongoing routine maintenance, including pothole repairs and preparation for planned projects as development activity resumes after wet weather. Moore asked for council support as staff push procurement and inspection scheduling to meet the state program's calendar.
Council members thanked public works staff for responding to recent pothole complaints and for moving projects forward; staff said they will continue to monitor contractor performance and return with contract awards as bids are received.
No vote was required to accept the grant award at the March 13 meeting; project-specific contracts will return to the council for approval.
