Council approves $89,399.84 final payment on ARPA sidewalk project; contractor removed from bidder list
Summary
Glendale approved a final payment of $89,399.84 to Lalonde Contractors for the 2024 ARPA sidewalk project after staff confirmed contract deductions; the council also directed staff to remove the contractor from the city's responsible‑bidder list for 2–3 years.
City staff recommended and the Common Council approved a final payment of $89,399.84 to Lalonde Contractors for the 2024 ARPA sidewalk project. Staff said the contractor met contract obligations after agreed deductions and rework, and the payment reflects only the completed work.
Council members and staff discussed past deficiencies: Alderman Doherty noted rework and ADA corrections had been required, and staff confirmed those items were addressed. The city administrator and staff said ARPA funds had been claimed and received earlier, and this payment uses the approved funds.
The mayor said, and council agreed, that the contractor should be removed from the city's responsible bidder list for a period (2–3 years) given performance issues; staff described the city's responsible‑bidder criteria and the ability of the city administrator and city engineer to apply the reference checks that govern debarment from bidding.
Alderman Gehlhart moved the payment, Alderman Doherty seconded, and the motion carried.
