Eldon approves payment for First Street project and suspends rules to advance ordinance 42-2026
Summary
The board approved Bill 42-2026, authorizing payment application No. 5 to BMP Patterson LLC for work on First Street; members also discussed a $10,000 change order and then voted to reject and table a separate high street-repair bid pending rebid and additional information.
Eldon's board approved an ordinance on a second reading to authorize the mayor and city clerk to execute payment application No. 5 for the First Street project, directing payment to BMP Patterson LLC. The payment amount for the portion discussed at the meeting was recorded as $18,828 for the payment application.
The board first held a reading of Bill 42-2026 and then voted to suspend rules and move the bill to a second reading; the ordinance was approved and the mayor certified the passage. Board members noted a roughly $10,000 change order tied to final paving quantities; staff said paving is expected to occur shortly and that final quantities and the change order will return for formal documentation at the next meeting.
Separately, the board considered a street-repair bid for several streets that came in higher than anticipated ($351,359.34). Members discussed rejecting the single high bid and rebidding—one motion to reject the bid passed and the board subsequently tabled the item to obtain additional information and to consider combining projects to attract more bidders.
Next steps: staff will complete and present the final payment paperwork for the First Street project and will rebid or retable the street-repair project with more detail and a timeline for rebidding. The board instructed staff to provide estimates and procurement options in advance of the next meeting so members and residents may review them.
