Peru board approves culvert bid, awards inspection contract and hears Telegraph Road update
Summary
The board awarded the Lions Road culvert replacement to Ed Garwood Sons for $317,250, accepted an $80,000 construction inspection proposal for the Telegraph Road over Dry Mill Brook, and heard CNS Companies say Telegraph Road construction is expected by summer 2026.
The Peru Town Board voted to award multiple contracts tied to local road and culvert work and heard a construction update for the Telegraph Road project.
The board adopted a resolution awarding the Lions Road culvert replacement project to Ed Garwood Sons as the lowest responsive bidder for $317,250. Members discussed an expected construction timeframe of roughly 30 days for the culvert work and confirmed that the road would be closed with signage and barriers during the work.
Separately, the board accepted a proposal from MJ Engineering for construction inspection services on the Telegraph Road over Dry Mill Brook culvert replacement. The inspection contract was presented with an assumed construction schedule starting in July 2026 and substantial completion and bridge opening by October 2026; the fee shown in the proposal was $80,000. Board members said the intention is to complete inspections to county standards so that the completed structure may be turned over to Clinton County after final certifications.
A representative for CNS Companies briefed the board on the Telegraph Road project status, reporting that the design phase is on schedule and that bids have been awarded. “By the time the summer season 2026 rolls around this road will be under construction if not close to finished,” the representative said.
All the resolutions related to the culvert award and the inspection contract were approved by roll call. The board discussed logistics including potential lane closures, signage, contractor pace and anticipated completion dates.
The adopted actions direct the town supervisor and highway superintendent to execute the necessary contract documents and proceed with project oversight; no additional financing for these specific contracts was recorded in the provided transcript.
