Marion council awards $858,957.50 spring paving contract to W N L Construction
Summary
Council awarded a single-bid spring paving contract to W N L Construction for $858,957.50 and approved payment of outstanding bills; staff said work could begin in two to three weeks and will publish a paving schedule.
The Marion Town Council on April 20 voted to award the spring paving contract to W N L Construction for a total of $858,957.50 after staff said the company was the lone RFP respondent.
The town manager presented the single bid and asked council to award the contract. "I'll make that motion that we award the contract for spring paving to W N L Construction for a total cost of $858,957 and 50 cents," the town manager said. Council moved and seconded the award and approved it by voice vote.
Staff noted the bid environment produced a single submission and attributed recent price increases to rising oil costs; the town manager said the contractor estimated a start in two to three weeks and staff (Tony and Jamie) will prepare a paving schedule.
Separately, council reviewed and approved accounts payable and voted to pay outstanding bills.
What’s next: Staff will finalize the paving schedule and notify council and the public of timelines; the transcript did not specify a contract number, the source of funding for the contract award, or a detailed start date beyond the two- to three-week estimate.
