Summary
Staff recommended awarding the 2026 waterline improvements contract to Coakley Company for $882,766 to replace aging mains in Andover, Highland Park, Huntley Drive and Walkway (including ~2,500 ft of 6-inch ductile iron and 1,000 ft of PVC), with no protests received to the bid posting.
Joey Stadler, engineering assistant and utility project manager, recommended the board award the 2026 waterline improvements contract to Coakley Company Inc. as the lowest responsive bidder at $882,766. He said bids were received March 23 and that Coakley was the lowest of four bidders. Staff posted the notice of intent on March 20 (and referenced March 30 as a posting date) and reported no protests were received.
Stadler said the 2026 projects are part of the utilities capital improvement program to replace aging distribution infrastructure in Andover, Highland Park, Huntley Drive and Walkway. He described the work as including approximately 2,500 feet of 6-inch ductile iron pipe, 1,000 feet of PVC water main, and reconnection of existing services and fire hydrants. He said Hansen Engineering tabulated the certified bids; Stadler characterized the procurement as a straight bid tabulation rather than a scored/ranked procurement.
Stadler invited questions from the board; directors asked about the bid tabulation process and were told Hansen Engineering handled the tabulation and certified the bids.
