Utility board awards Elm Street and East High Street contract to Dave O'Meara for $1.19 million
Summary
The Lawrenceburg Utility Service Board accepted Dave O'Meara's low bid of $1,190,500 for Elm Street and East High Street improvements, funded in part by a CCMG grant; the board discussed timing and service connections.
The Lawrenceburg Utility Service Board voted to accept a low bid of $1,190,500 from Dave O'Meara for Elm Street and East High Street improvements, the board said at its March meeting. The projects are tied to streetscape work funded in part by the Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG).
Board members discussed sequencing, water service connections, and the construction timeline. A board member questioned a $34,000 water service connection line item in one bid versus a competitor's $195,000 line; staff clarified that the low bid includes new service from the main to the new meter and that existing meter stators will be retained. The city said the Elm Street portion will be scheduled during summer to avoid disrupting school buses; the contractor guaranteed substantial completion by Aug. 1 to allow time for blacktopping.
The board approved the motion to accept Dave O'Meara as the construction contractor for the two streets by voice vote. No amendments were recorded. Staff said the CCMG grant covers asphalt costs for the two streets and that funding is available in the budget.
