Mount Pleasant staff to ready 200 North road project for bid despite cost concerns
Summary
Councilors discussed reclassifying the east side of 200 North because of county traffic; consultants recommended finishing engineering and preparing bids by June but said the city could delay or negotiate if bid results exceed expectations.
Mount Pleasant councilors discussed the east side of 200 North and the possibility of reclassifying the roadway after noting significant county traffic on the corridor.
Councilman Rondy G. Black said he frequently receives complaints about the roadway's width. Ben Coray, a Sunrise Engineering representative, advised staff could proceed with engineering and prepare the project for bidding; if bid prices are higher than anticipated (for example, because of oil-price fluctuations), the city could delay construction or negotiate with a contractor to complete portions of the work.
Sunrise Engineering indicated the city could have the project ready for bid by June. No bid was opened and no formal procurement action was recorded at the work session; the conversation focused on timing and risk management for construction costs.
