Summary
The Village Board awarded a $145,002.38 contract for a box culvert replacement to KR Contractors Inc. and awarded the Somerset Drive sanitary sewer relay contract to Globe Contractors Inc. after a staff briefing; both motions passed on voice votes.
The Mount Pleasant Village Board on Feb. 9 approved two public-works contracts during its public works agenda item.
Trustee Washburn moved to award the State Highway 20 North Frontage Road box culvert replacement contract to the low bidder, KR Contractors Inc., "for an amount of $145,002.38," and the board approved the motion by voice vote. Trustees discussed that staff delayed the project and rebid it after higher bids and that rebidding saved roughly $20,000 versus earlier engineer estimates.
Washburn then moved to award the Somerset Drive sanitary sewer relay contract to low bidder Globe Contractors Inc. The motion, as read into the record, stated an amount of "457,000, $63.41." Public Works staff described the Somerset project as a relay of about 1,300 feet of sewer, including roughly 100 feet for a Meadow Lane relay; the contract consolidated two similar relay projects and was bid with both open-cut and trenchless (pipe-bursting) alternatives. The board approved that motion by voice vote.
Public Works staff indicated the Somerset relay is intended to address historical basement backups and capacity issues in the Somerset/Airline Road area. No roll-call vote or detailed tally was recorded in the meeting transcript; both motions were approved by voice vote as noted in the minutes.
