Council approves lowest bidder for road-rehabilitation contract
Summary
The council voted to accept the lowest bid for a road-rehabilitation project and approve the public-works recommendation to award the work to the lowest bidder (referred to in the packet as Velasso); staff said the bid allows extra pavement work on the project end segments.
Staff presented three bids for an upcoming road-rehabilitation project and recommended the lowest bidder, identified in the council packet as Velasso. Public-works staff explained that the Velasso bid would allow additional rehabilitation at the tail end of the project because it included increased yardage compared with other offers.
The Chair moved to accept the public-works recommendation and the motion received a second. The council then voted to approve the award to the lowest bidder. Staff said the initial contract estimate is roughly $730,000, and that scheduling would begin after the purchase order is issued with work potentially taking place in the April'June timeframe and bills arriving as the project progresses.
Councilors emphasized the importance of moving quickly to secure contractors ahead of the state paving season. The council recorded the motion and approved the award; contracting details and the purchase order will be completed by staff.
