Finance Committee reviews low bid of $338,338 for Griffin Road signal project
Summary
At its Dec. 2 meeting, the Finance Committee reviewed bids for signal upgrades at Griffin Road and Canduscaic Avenue; staff said the federal government would cover 80% of the project, the state 10% and the city (Bangor) 10%, and recommended awarding the low bid of $338,338 to Daigle Electric Company and forwarding the contract to the full council for final approval.
The Finance Committee met Dec. 2 at 5:15 p.m. to consider bids for a signal-improvement project at Griffin Road and Canduscaic Avenue in Bangor. An unidentified staff member told the committee the project is funded by federal, state and local shares and that three bids were received.
An unidentified staff member said, "Feds covering 80%, State of Maine covering 10, so Bangor share is 10." The presenter told the committee the lowest of three bids was from Daigle Electric Company for $338,338 and said the city has "worked with Daigle before" and "our past experience has been excellent." The presenter asked the committee for approval to move forward with awarding the contract and to send the recommendation to the full council for final approval next week.
"I would move approval," the presenter said, and Councilor Fish, the committee chair, confirmed there was a motion and a second. The transcript does not record a committee vote tally or named second; the item was described as going to the full council for final action.
The committee did not record additional debate in the transcript. The next procedural step recorded in the meeting was forwarding the staff recommendation to the full council for final approval at the council meeting next week. Councilor Fish closed the meeting by saying, "I guess that concludes the meeting."
