Columbia City Park Board awards dog‑park fence contract to Bectol Construction
Summary
After reviewing competing bids and discussing concrete footings and warranty language, the Columbia City Park Board voted to award the dog‑park fencing contract to Bectol Construction and directed staff to include a one‑year fix/maintenance clause in the contract.
The Columbia City Park Board voted March 23 to award the dog‑park fence contract to Bectol Construction after reviewing multiple bids and discussing concrete footings and contract language.
Staff presented two competitive bids (discussed in the meeting as 54 and 48, units implied as thousands of dollars) and a substantially higher quote from another contractor (discussed as $75,000). Board members emphasized the need to set concrete around each post because the dog park sits in a wet area and to include warranty or return‑to‑fix language in the contract so the contractor would correct alignment or other problems post‑installation.
A board member moved to award the job to Bectol Construction; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote. Staff said they would contact Bectol the following day to line up scheduling and include the contractual clauses discussed (one‑year correction/maintenance). Board members preferred the local contractor and noted the value of adding a maintenance clause to protect the city if fence panels fail or dogs escape.
The selection advances the dog‑park project subject to final contract terms and schedule alignment.
