Page County to put annex parking-lot and sidewalks out for bid; staff to split work into separate bid items
Summary
Supervisors directed staff to prepare and publish bid documents for a parking-lot and sidewalk project at the annex, asking that sidewalks (including right-of-way items) be bid separately from the interior parking-lot work so the county can award parts if funding is limited.
Supervisors instructed county staff to proceed with bid letting for repairs and improvements at the annex, including a roughly 60-by-70 parking lot with a 20-foot approach and several sidewalk items to improve handicapped access.
Board members and staff discussed separating work into multiple bid divisions—exterior sidewalks (right-of-way), interior parking-lot paving and approach, and interior sidewalks—so the county could award some work without obligating funds for all items if bids exceed available money. Staff recommended using the service bureau letting tool to generate notice-to-bidders, proposal forms and contract documents at no additional cost.
A motion to authorize staff to prepare bid documents and publish the project was made and approved; staff said they will report back with the letting schedule once dates are set.
Why it matters: separating bid items preserves flexibility to match available county funds and potential city grant matches for sidewalk items; the change aims to ensure compliance with grant application requirements and to improve accessibility at the annex entrance.
