Council awards Visitor Center electrical contract to lower bidder; archaeological oversight required
Summary
Port Deposit council approved a $65,034 bid from SC Electrical Services for Visitor Center electrical service, noting a prior higher Pace Electric bid of about $145,000 and estimated Towson University archaeological oversight at roughly $2,000.
The Port Deposit Town Council voted on May 5 to accept a bid from SC Electrical Services for electrical service work at the Visitor Center. The minutes record two bids: Pace Electric at approximately $145,000 and SC Electrical Services at approximately $65,034. Deputy Mayor Kevin Brown moved to approve the SC Electrical bid and Councilwoman Randa Thiele seconded; the minutes record the motion as passing unanimously.
Town Administrator Vicky Rinkerman told the council that archaeological oversight is required because the Visitor Center is within a historic easement; the minutes list Towson University as a likely provider with an estimated cost of about $2,000 for archaeological oversight.
The council did not record additional contract terms, a contractor start date, nor a detailed procurement memo in the minutes. Staff indicated they will continue to review repair timing, parts and potential grant funding for related dock and float work.
