Council reviews bids for Academy/Gibson Field renovations and Main Street culvert replacement
Summary
Staff presented low bids for athletic-field and Main Street infrastructure work: the Academy/Gibson Field renovations low bid was $3,730,750 and the Main Street culvert replacement low bid was $1,749,000; both projects were described as part of the bond package or formal bidding process with 365- and 300-day schedules respectively.
City engineering staff presented two construction items for council consideration: renovations to the Academy complex and Gibson Field and a Main Street culvert replacement.
Deputy director Rick Blatt said the Academy/Gibson Field package would include a synthetic field, netting, new restrooms, storage, press-box renovations and adjustments to lighting and the scoreboard. He told the council the low bid from the formal procurement process was $3,730,750 and that the work would be paid as part of the bond package; construction was estimated at 365 days from notice to proceed.
Blatt also described the Main Street culvert replacement project, noting the existing 72-inch corrugated metal pipe is undermining pavement; the plan calls for replacing it with an 8-by-9-foot concrete box and addressing related storm-drain work on Carriage Avenue and Main Street. He reported the lowest responsible bidder was Sealand Contractors at $1,749,000 and estimated the schedule at 300 days.
Council members asked about schedule and bond funding; staff confirmed the projects were bid under the formal process and would move ahead following procurement and notice-to-proceed steps. No final council votes are recorded in the supplied transcript segment.
