Bay Oaks redevelopment rebid with smaller scope after lowest bids exceed $3.6 million; $2 million grant deadline set for Aug. 31
Summary
Town staff said the Bay Oaks redevelopment project has been scaled back to match a $2 million funding package after bids returned as high as $3.6 million; the board discussed procurement rules, the need to value‑engineer the scope, and the risk of losing the grant if work is not complete by Aug. 31.
Town staff told the Bay Oaks advisory board they will reissue a reduced bid package for redevelopment work after the initial round returned bids well above available funding.
The board was briefed that the redevelopment package originally envisioned a larger facility and parking plan. The town has a $1,000,000 grant and a $1,000,000 local match ($2,000,000 total) for the Bay Oaks redevelopment, staff said; the lowest bid in the initial solicitation was $3.6 million, with other bids higher, leaving a funding gap of roughly $1.6 million.
