Lafayette City awards $2.94 million contract for John T. Myers pedestrian bridge
Summary
The Lafayette City council approved awarding both the base bid and alternate 1 for the John T. Myers pedestrian bridge to American Industrial Coatings and approved a $2,940,867.61 contract with a notice to proceed; substantial completion is set for April 15, 2027 and final completion June 30, 2027.
Lafayette City on Monday approved awarding the John T. Myers pedestrian bridge contract to American Industrial Coatings and authorized a $2,940,867.61 contract and immediate notice to proceed.
City engineer Jeremy Grinner told the board that Versus Engineering reviewed the bids and recommended American Industrial Coatings as the lowest responsive bidder for both the base bid and bid alternate 1. "This amount is within our engineer's estimate for the project," Grinner said, recommending the award.
The council voted to accept the award, then approved the contract in the same meeting. The board also approved a notice to proceed. Grinner said the substantial completion date is April 15, 2027, with a final completion date of June 30, 2027.
The project schedule noted preliminary communications indicating a potential contractor start late this July with much of the work expected to be finished by December of this year, though the board recorded the formal contract dates in the motion.
Funding sources and departmental assignments for construction oversight were not detailed in the presentation.
Next steps: the contractor will receive the notice to proceed and begin preparatory work; the timeline calls for milestone reporting through the engineering office as the project advances.
