Lake Station opens three bids for 2026 Community Crossroads matching grant; amounts read aloud
Summary
At its March 31 workshop the City of Lake Station opened bids for a 2026 Community Crossroads matching grant. Staff read three bids: Site Services for $838,532.85, Milestone Contractors, LLC for $693,106.00, and Reagan Riley Construction Company for $793,778.50; a transcript line stating 'The total is $2,000' appears inconsistent with those amounts.
City staff opened bids for the 2026 Community Crossroads matching grant at the March 31 Lake Station discussion board workshop and read three bids into the record.
Staff stated the city had applied for the grant the prior year and was denied when state funds were exhausted, then received notice the program reopened and that the city could reapply for federal matching funds. "We applied for this uh last year. Uh the state informed us they kind of ran out of money, so they had to deny us," the staff member said, adding the program had reopened and the city planned to reapply.
Staff read the first bid as coming from Site Services with an amount of $838,532.85. The second bid, from Milestone Contractors, LLC, was read as $693,106.00. The final bid read was from Reagan Riley Construction Company for $793,778.50. Immediately after the bid readings the transcript records a line stating, "The total is $2,000," which is inconsistent with the individual bid amounts listed; the transcript does not clarify that discrepancy.
Staff thanked the contractors for attending and said the board would follow up. The transcript contains no record of vendor questions, bid protests or a decision on awarding the contract; the item appears to be an opening and reading of bid amounts for later review and procurement processing.
