Board awards $3.66 million utility relocation bid for I-55 expansion, contingent on MDOT concurrence
Summary
The mayor and board authorized award of the utility relocation contract related to the I-55 widening and Church Road interchange to W and T Contract Inc., for $3,659,789.35, contingent on MDOT approval of bid quantities.
The Board of Aldermen authorized staff to award a $3,659,789.35 contract to W and T Contract Incorporation (spelled as presented) for the first phase of utility relocation tied to the I-55 widening and the Church Road interchange, contingent on Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) concurrence with the bids.
City staff said this is the first of two utility relocation packages for the I-55 MDOT widening project. The board’s authorization allows the mayor to sign contract documents once MDOT concurs with the awarded bid quantities.
Nut graf: The award moves forward utility relocation work that must be completed before mainline roadway construction and interchange work; MDOT’s concurrence is part of the contract closeout and payment approval process for projects that use state review and funding participation.
The board approved the award by roll-call vote.
