St. John awards $3.383M Joliet Street multi‑use path contract to Dyer Construction
Summary
The Town of St. John council unanimously awarded the Joliet Street multi‑use path contract to Dyer Construction for $3,383,878.43; staff said the bid was below the engineer's estimate and work could begin next month.
The Town of St. John council on April 22 awarded the Joliet Street multi‑use path project to Dyer Construction for $3,383,878.43, the apparent low bid among four submissions.
A town representative summarized the bid review and said Dyer was the apparent low bidder and that staff found no errors in the submittals. Council discussion noted the bid came in below the engineer’s estimate; the motion to award the contract passed 5‑0.
A town project representative said contract documents will be issued and pre‑construction work scheduled immediately; construction is expected to begin next month. The project team told council the revised design avoids duplicative road tear‑ups by coordinating lane and utility work, a change that staff said improves project efficiency.
Councilors asked about change orders; staff said they did not anticipate major change‑order impacts. The contract will be managed under standard construction management agreements the council approved earlier in the meeting.
Funding for the project was presented as part of the capital program packages on the agenda; council also approved related engineering and construction management agreements to support CCMG projects at the same meeting.
