Village awards $503,810 construction contract for County KP improvements and multi‑use trail
Summary
Trustees awarded the County KP improvements and multi‑use trail contract to OT Site Inc. for $503,809.95 (base + supplemental); staff noted two grants totaling about $515,000 that substantially fund the work and recommended proceeding with the local low bidder.
The Village of Cross Plains board voted March 23 to award the County KP improvements and the associated multi‑use trail contract to OT Site Inc. Staff said eight bids were opened and the low responsive bidder — OT Site Inc. — submitted a base plus supplemental price of $503,809.95. The staff recommendation included awarding the base bid plus supplemental items and noted the contract is a unit‑price agreement allowing the village to pay for measured work rather than a lump sum.
Staff told trustees the village has two grants that together total about $515,000 to help fund the project and that previously incurred engineering costs will be reimbursed through grant proceeds. Staff recommended carrying a contingency given typical enterprise contract uncertainties, but reported the bids were well within available budget even with county scope removed from the project.
Trustees asked about county engineer comments and corrections raised prior to bid opening; staff confirmed coordination and corrections were turned around promptly so permits could be issued. After discussion, a motion to award the contract to OT Site Inc. for $503,809.95 (base + supplemental) passed on voice vote.
