Council accepts Ensign Engineering bid for 300 South survey work
Summary
The council awarded the 300 South survey work to Ensign Engineering after receiving three proposals; the motion passed on a roll call vote.
Gunnison City Council voted to accept Ensign Engineering’s bid for survey work related to the 300 South project.
Public works staff said they solicited bids from three firms and that Ensign had already completed much of the survey work for other customers, which reduced the scope of required work. A council member moved to accept Ensign Engineering’s bid of $18.10 (per unit as stated during the meeting packet) for the project; another council member seconded the motion.
The council took a roll call vote and recorded affirmative votes from multiple members, and the mayor declared the motion passed. After the vote, staff and the bidder exchanged brief comments about ongoing engineering work and the local acquisition of Savage by Sunrise, which had consolidated some local engineering capacity.
The accepted bid covers preliminary survey and the recording of the adjusted road right‑of‑way for the 300 South project; staff said the scope includes documenting a narrower road width than the original 99‑foot right‑of‑way where applicable.
Contract paperwork and subsequent design work will be handled by city staff and the selected engineering firm.
