Scottsburg opens bids for High Street resurfacing; Temple and Temple appears low bidder
Summary
At the Jan. 28 Scottsburg Board of Public Works and Safety meeting, Heritage Engineering opened five bids for a CCMG resurfacing project on High Street. Temple and Temple submitted the apparent low bid of $248,337; staff will review bids and follow up with contractors.
Scottsburg City’s Board of Public Works and Safety opened five bids Jan. 28 for a Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG) project to resurface High Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets, replace culverts on 2nd and 3rd, and pave Thomas and Bond streets.
Jeremy of Heritage Engineering announced the bids and the engineer’s estimate. "So I have, 5 bids here for the CCMG project," Jeremy said, then read the offers: Temple and Temple $248,337; S & J $377,745.48; All Star Paving $313,257.47; Mac Construction $343,010; Libs $266,430. The engineer’s estimate on the project was $252,518.72, Jeremy said, and he identified Temple and Temple as the apparent low bidder.
Jeremy said the city will forward bid documents to staff ("send it all to Jill") and reach back out to the contractors to proceed with the procurement process. Board members and staff clarified that the Community Crossings program functions as an 80/20 match (80% grant, 20% local match), and that the project addresses erosion and a small creek near the wastewater treatment plant that has affected nearby residents and road width.
No contract award or formal authorization to award was made at the meeting; Jeremy described this event as a public bid opening and indicated the next step is administrative review. The board thanked Heritage Engineering and the bidding contractors for participating.
The city’s next action will be staff review of bids and follow-up with bidders, after which the board may be asked to act on an award in a future meeting.
