Council awards $394,690 contract to Lumadu Excavating for water main replacement
Summary
After questioning price disparities in bids, council awarded the re-bid for replacement of water mains on Mackay and Macklehattan Avenues to Lumadu Excavating for $394,690 and approved the contract by roll-call vote.
Lock Haven’s city council approved a staff recommendation to award the re-bid for water-main replacement on Mackay and Macklehattan avenues to Lumadu Excavating for $394,690.
Public Works staff said two bids were received—one from Lumadu Excavating and one from HRI—and recommended Lumadu based on the bid package. A council member asked whether all required line items and contingencies were included, noting observed price differences between bids; staff affirmed the bid analysis and certification process.
Council moved, seconded and approved the award by roll-call vote after questions from members about line-item differences and certification. The motion passed with an affirmative voice/roll-call tally recorded in the meeting minutes.
Why it matters: Replacing aging water mains is a capital project with direct impact on service reliability and road work in the affected neighborhoods. The contract award begins procurement and scheduling steps for the construction phase.
What’s next: City staff will proceed with contract execution and scheduling with the awarded contractor and notify residents of planned work.
