Altoona council approves Townsend Park Watershed Phase 2 contract, awards Jasper Construction $231,810
Summary
The Altoona City Council approved plans, the contract and awarded Jasper Construction Services a $231,810 contract for the Townsend Park Watershed Improvements Phase 2 project after a public hearing that drew no comments; the project was budgeted at $400,000.
The Altoona City Council on Aug. 18 approved the plans, contract and award for the Townsend Park Watershed Improvements Phase 2 project, awarding the work to Jasper Construction Services for $231,810.
City Administrator Randy Pierce said two bids were received and the design engineer recommended Jasper Construction Services; the engineer’s estimate for the work was $248,540 and the council had budgeted $400,000 for construction. A public hearing opened and closed at 6:33 p.m. with no one speaking.
Councilmember Duer moved to approve the plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated costs and subsequently moved to approve the contract and bond “subject to deficiencies,” motions the council approved by roll call. The council also approved the formal award of the contract; all three related roll-call votes were recorded as 5-0.
The approvals authorize the city to proceed with final contract execution and move the project into the construction procurement phase pending resolution of the noted deficiencies. The record does not specify a construction start date or the timeline for completion. The council took the action during the meeting’s public hearing item and did not receive public comment on the project.
Next procedural steps indicated in the meeting record are addressing the contract deficiencies noted by staff and executing the contract with Jasper Construction Services.
