Council awards $797,639 contract for 23rd Street turn‑lane improvements
Summary
The Fremont City Council approved Resolution 2025‑2110 to award a $797,639 contract to Sawyer Construction for turn‑lane work on 23rd Street after deeming a lower bid non‑compliant with timing specifications.
The council approved Resolution 2025‑2110 to award the 23rd Street turn‑lane improvement contract to Sawyer Construction for $797,639. City Engineer Troy Shaven said the project includes right‑turn and left‑turn lanes to serve the new elementary school area and the Deerfield subdivision connection; four bids were received but the apparent low bidder’s proposed start date of March 1, 2026 failed to meet the 2025 start‑date requirement tied to the subdivision agreement, making that bid non‑compliant.
Shaven said Sawyer Construction submitted the lowest bid that met the contract schedule and specifications; the council voted to award the contract to Sawyer (motion carried six to zero). A public commenter at the meeting expressed support for the turn lanes but cautioned the council to sequence street projects to avoid redoing recently completed work.
Council members approved the resolution without recorded individual roll‑call votes beyond the announced six‑to‑zero tally. Staff will return to council with construction timelines and coordination steps as work is scheduled.
