Scofield approves $4,000 bid for town‑hall ADA ramp
Summary
Council awarded a contract to M Wilson Builders for a 6‑foot‑wide ADA ramp at town hall after reviewing two bids; the contract was approved at $4,000 with authorization to spend up to $4,500 for change orders.
The Scofield Town Council voted July 14 to accept a bid from M Wilson Builders to construct a 6‑foot‑wide ADA ramp at town hall.
Council reviewed two bids: Mark Wilson (M Wilson Builders) submitted a bid of $4,000 (handrail not included; council authorized up to $4,500 for potential change orders), and Brad Parish submitted a higher bid of $5,725 that included pockets for handrails. After brief discussion about contractor familiarity and cost savings, a council member moved to accept the M Wilson Builders bid with authority to spend up to $4,500 if change orders were needed; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The ramp plan includes footers/piers to allow future coverings for snow protection and a design that allows a four‑wheeler to plow snow for maintenance. Council members noted familiarity with both contractors and that the lower bid represented significant savings. Work scheduling and handrail installation details were left to the clerk and contractor to finalize.
The council approved moving forward; no contract amount beyond the authorized $4,500 contingency was announced.
