Livingston council awards $2.53 million contract for Willis and West street improvements
Summary
The council unanimously awarded Crockett Construction the low bid of $2,530,853 for the Willis and West Street Improvement Project, a GLO CDBG‑MIT contract; The Brannon Corporation will prepare the contract and schedule pre-construction activities.
Dalton Brown, an engineer with The Brannon Corporation, told the City Council on Sept. 16 that three bids were opened for the Willis and West Street Improvement Project (GLO Community Development Block Grant Mitigation, Contract #24-065-040-E532), with the low bid at $2,530,853.00 and the high bid at $4,602,997.61. Brown recommended acceptance of the low bid from Crockett Construction.
Alderman Bobby Jackson Sr. moved to accept the bid and award the contract to Crockett Construction in the amount of $2,530,853.00; Alderman Elgin Davis seconded the motion. Mayor Judy B. Cochran and the other councilmembers voted aye, and the motion carried unanimously. The council directed The Brannon Corporation to prepare the contract and schedule a pre-construction meeting and possible ground‑breaking ceremony.
The project is identified in the meeting record as Contract #24-065-040-E532 under the GLO CDBG‑MIT Method of Distribution program. Council discussion touched on pavement type and drainage in the project area, comparison of the three bids, the project budget, and a possible construction start date; no specific start date or budget figure for the city was provided in the minutes.
City Manager Ellie Monteaux noted that The Brannon Corporation will prepare the contract documents and coordinate next steps with city staff and the contractor. The council’s approval completes the formal award; execution of the contract and scheduling of construction activities will follow in administrative steps.
