Staff said the move follows an earlier round in which all bids were rejected. The rebid aims to allow award and groundbreaking to coincide with the initiation of revenue service for the Nickel Plate train (referred to in the discussion as "Nick D"). The board recommended approval of the bid advertisement and opening dates.
Why it matters: The train-station project is a visible public-works effort tied to a regional passenger-rail project; the rebid schedule will set the timeline for contractor selection and a potential groundbreaking.
Board action: The board recommended and concurred in setting advertising dates of Nov. 6 and Nov. 13, 2025, and a bid-opening date of Dec. 11, 2025. Staff will proceed with procurement steps accordingly.
