Council OKs rebid and award for Oakshade Cemetery crypt wall repair; single bid of $315,000 recommended
Summary
Council approved the rebid and project calendar for the Oakshade Cemetery crypt wall repair after receiving one bid from Rachi Construction for $315,000; relocation of remains will be handled by Wilber Vault under supervision of Murdoch Funeral Homes and is included in the contract scope.
City staff presented the Oakshade Cemetery crypt wall repair project and recommended proceeding with a rebid after a prior set of bids exceeded estimates. The council received a single bid on the rebid from Rachi Construction for $315,000 and approved the project calendar and award.
Staff explained the scope: the contractor will remove a failing front wall, temporarily relocate remains as required, and then reinstall the wall. Mike (city staff) said relocation of remains is a regulated activity performed by a qualified vendor; staff confirmed Wilber Vault will complete the interment work under supervision of Murdoch Funeral Homes and that the associated cost is included in the $315,000 bid.
The project’s contract includes a May 27, 2025 start date, a September 26, 2025 completion date, and liquidated damages of $300 per day for delay. The council approved the project calendar and award by voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.
