Logansport awards $921,098 remediation contract for Exide site
Summary
The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety voted Oct. 8 to award a $921,098.25 contract to Buckeye Elm Contracting for remediation work at the Exide site after BCA Environmental recommended the bid; the company is expected to begin work within weeks and the contract form awaits signatures.
The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety voted Oct. 8 to award a $921,098.25 contract to Buckeye Elm Contracting for remediation work at the Exide site.
A deputy city staff member told the board the city received eight bids for the project and that BCA Environmental, the city's consultant, "recommended that the award be made to Buckeye Elm Contracting, for their base bid of $921,098.25." The deputy said Buckeye Elm is based in Columbus, Ohio, and staff hope to schedule a preconstruction meeting and sign the contract in the coming weeks so work can begin.
Mayor Chris Martin moved to accept the recommendation and approve the contract form. The motion passed on a roll call vote of board members present.
Project documents attached to the agenda include the bid tabulation and a standard form contract; the deputy said staff will schedule a construction meeting once the contract is executed. The board did not discuss financing details in the meeting record presented.
Next steps documented during the meeting are contract signature and coordination of an initial construction meeting; no start date was recorded in the minutes other than the deputy's statement that work is expected to begin "in the next couple of weeks."
