Council approves REB Construction bid for Wells Park bathrooms and concession stand
Summary
The council authorized REB Construction LLC to build bathrooms and a concession stand at Wells Park for $236,937.20, a figure reported as under the $250,000 capital outlay allocation; council members asked to see conceptual drawings and noted potential change-order exposure.
The Morris City Council authorized a resolution to construct bathrooms and a concession stand at Wells Park and approved REB Construction LLC as the contractor. Becca, the city manager, reported two bids: REB Construction for 236,937.20 and Wool Ridge Construction for 261,620; she recommended awarding the contract to REB as the lower bidder and said the amount is below the $250,000 budgeted capital outlay amount.
Council members asked for conceptual drawings and confirmation that the park board had reviewed the plans. Concerns included the size of the concession overhang and how storage and access were oriented to the fields. Becca said she could provide concept drawings to council members and noted that change orders could alter the final contract price but that the city needed to move forward to secure permits and meet a fall construction timeline.
The motion to approve the resolution authorizing construction with REB Construction carried on a roll-call vote with council members recorded as voting yes (Council member Kell, Salvi, Miller) and Mayor Waller also recorded as yes.
Ending: The contract award was approved; staff will provide concept drawings and handle permitting and any required change orders.
