Summary

Council awarded the access-road and park parking reconstruction contract to Rasmuson Excavation for $63,000; staff estimated materials adding about $13,000 for a total project cost near $76,000. County grant funds and local budget lines will cover part of the expense.

The Gunnison City Council voted to award the access-road and parking-area reconstruction bid to Rasmuson Excavation for $63,000, with staff estimating roughly $13,000 in additional materials for a total project cost of about $76,000.

Staff said three bids were received; Outback submitted the high bid and Rasmuson’s $63,000 proposal plus materials was the low responsive bid. Council noted approximately $22,000 in county grant funding and $54,545 already budgeted locally; staff will continue pursuing state grant funds to reduce the city’s local share.

Councilman Warner moved to award the contract; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously with one council member absent. Contract work was to be completed with a target finish date around September 1 to align with grant closings and construction schedules.

Council asked staff to confirm material-cost estimates and grant timing before issuing a notice to proceed.
