City awards 2026 street and utility improvements contract to GMH Asphalt at $1.998 million
Summary
Council approved resolution 2636 accepting bids and awarding the base contract for the 2026 street and utility improvements to GMH Asphalt (base bid $1,998,445.90), approximately 20% below the engineer's estimate; the alternate for a Dutch Lake storm-sewer reroute was deferred for separate contracting.
Staff reported on the May bid opening for the 2026 street and utility improvements project (PW2601/PW2602). GMH Asphalt submitted the lowest base bid at $1,998,445.90, roughly 20% below the engineer's estimate of about $2.5 million. The project includes reconstruction and overlays with associated water-main improvements.
Staff recommended awarding the base contract to GMH Asphalt but not accepting the alternate bid to reroute storm sewer by the Dutch Lake boat landing; staff said the city would complete that alternate work under a separate contract with a different estimate. Council moved to accept bids and award the base project (resolution 2636) and approved the staff recommendation. The motion passed by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will finalize contract paperwork with the low bidder and schedule project mobilization and notices to affected residents.
