Bryce Canyon City to award public safety building contract to Robertson Welding and Construction
Summary
The council reviewed three bids for a public safety building and followed consultant recommendations to award the project to Robertson Welding and Construction; staff noted a $5,000 bond line item in the winning bid and advised city attorney review of contract language.
Bryce Canyon City officials reviewed three bids for a public safety building and moved to award the project to Robertson Welding and Construction after a consultant recommended that firm.
City staff told the council that Robertson submitted a low bid of $163,250. Two other bids were opened in public: Wasatch West Contracting at $260,004.84 and Eco Premier Builders Inc. at $234,274. Jones Mills (project reviewer/consultant) examined the bids and references and recommended Robertson Welding and Construction as the preferred contractor.
The council heard that the consultant checked references and that a contact at the U.S. Bureau of Land Management, Trent Duncan, provided follow-up about subcontractor work associated with the recommended bidder. Staff summarized Duncan’s input that the subcontracted work was timely, met safety requirements and produced practical solutions for site issues.
Staff also told the council the Robertson bid included a bond amount of about $5,000; the city may decide whether to require a separate contractor bond or rely on standard contractor documents. Staff advised council to consult the city attorney on contract language before final execution.
Councilmember Mike moved to accept the Robertson Welding and Construction bid and the motion carried on a voice vote recorded as "all in favor." A roll-call tally was not provided in the transcript.
The council did not approve a final signed contract in the meeting; staff said the next steps include attorney review and final contract forms to execute the award.
Notes and clarifications from the discussion: the consultant confirmed each bidder had been provided the same plan set and that Jones Mills reviewed the plans for specification compliance. The city staff noted they reviewed vendor references and that some prior construction work involved coordination between general contractor and subcontractors, which influences scheduling and oversight needs.
Council members requested staff follow up on contract templates and clarify the bond requirement before returning a final contract for signature.
