Stewartville council awards contract for Second Avenue Northwest extension
Summary
The Stewartville City Council voted to award the contract for the Second Avenue Northwest extension to the low bidder after a Jan. 6, 2026 bid letting. Council authorized City Administrator Shiml to sign the contract; the transcript records inconsistent contractor name spellings and an unclear bid amount.
The Stewartville City Council voted to award a contract for the Second Avenue Northwest extension after the city received eight bids at a Jan. 6, 2026 bid letting. Council approved a resolution receiving bids and awarding the project and authorized City Administrator Shiml to sign the contract.
Council members were told the city used the conventional low-bid method for the project and that multiple contractors had bid. The transcript records the low bidder’s name with inconsistent spellings (appearing as “Elcore” and later as “HCore” in the meeting record); the exact bid amount is not clearly recorded in the transcript.
City Administrator Shiml introduced the bid summary and the resolution that would accept bids and authorize the contract. Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution on a voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally or the names of the motion’s mover and seconder.
The resolution as discussed in the meeting was referenced as a 2026 resolution (the transcript truncates the number). The council’s action directs the city administrator to execute the construction contract; next steps will be standard contract administration and project scheduling by city staff.
