County awards $3.78 million contract to Milestone for reconstruction of County Road 500 East
Summary
The Tippecanoe County commissioners accepted the low bid and awarded Milestone Contractors LP the contract for the County Road 500 East reconstruction project. The low bid presented by staff was $3,775,140; the motion on the floor included an inconsistent figure that the board nevertheless approved.
Tippecanoe County Commissioners voted Feb. 3 to award the construction contract for reconstruction of County Road 500 East (from U.S. 52 to 350 South) to Milestone Contractors LP, accepting the low bid that county staff verified and recommended.
County highway staff said four bids were received and checked for accuracy with no apparent anomalies. The staff report listed the low bid, including Alternate 1, as $3,775,140 and recommended award to Milestone Contractors LP.
A commissioner moved to approve the low bid; during the motion the amount was stated as $33,775,140. The board then seconded the motion and approved the award without further recorded modification. County staff had earlier presented the low bid amount as $3,775,140.
The project will reconstruct County Road 500 East from U.S. 52 north to 350 South. Staff confirmed the low bidder was lowest on both the base bid and the selected alternate. The contract will proceed to execution per normal county contracting procedures.
No additional engineering detail, schedule or funding source was stated in the public record excerpt; the board approved the award during the Feb. 3 meeting.
