Summary
Vigo County commissioners awarded the Community Crossings 2026 contract to Milestone Contractors after staff tabulated two bids. Milestone’s total bid was $1,620,421.30; Reeth Riley’s bid included a conditional credit that would lower its price to $1,921,378.91 if certain timing conditions are met.
Vigo County commissioners voted to award the 2026 Community Crossings contract to Milestone Contractors on a motion to accept the highway engineer’s recommendation.
During the meeting Speaker 3 read the two bids received for the program, which covered work on South 7th Street, Hunt Road, Singhurst Drive, Erickson Street, Chamberlain Street, Grotto Road, Certain Place and Robinson Road. "The total bid for Milestone was $1,620,421.30," Speaker 3 said. Reeth Riley submitted a higher total of $2,165,235.42 but included a conditional lump-sum credit of $243,856.50 "if the notice receipt is issued on 09/01/2026 or later," which would reduce that contract total to $1,921,378.91, Speaker 3 said.
After tabulation, Speaker 6 moved to approve the recommendation made by the highway engineer (identified in the meeting as Larry Robles). The motion was seconded and the board recorded unanimous 'aye' votes. Speaker 3 thanked both bidders and said staff looked "forward to getting started when the weather warms up."
The highway representative confirmed that Milestone’s bid packet included required forms, a bid bond, equal opportunity statements and insurance. Commissioners and staff noted scheduling will depend on weather conditions and standard construction-season constraints.
Next steps noted in the meeting: formal contract paperwork and scheduling contingent on weather and any required notice timelines related to the conditional credit offered by Reeth Riley.
