Lancaster council awards CDBG-funded Art Street sidewalk contract, contingent on federal SAM registration
Summary
Council awarded the CDBG Art Street sidewalk contract to Little Mountain Builders with the award contingent on the contractor completing federal SAM registration and state approval; staff said the project will use ARPA and other reserves for the city match and construction could start in early spring.
Council voted to award the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Art Street sidewalk project to Little Mountain Builders of Kataba County LLC; the award was approved with a condition that the contractor complete federal SAM registration and state approvals prior to contract execution. Staff presented the bid and explained that the city’s match had changed during the procurement process and that ARPA and general reserves would supply the city portion.
Project manager Mr. Barry told council that construction could begin in early spring and likely be completed by August if the contractor mobilizes on schedule. "My best guess is that if they do get started early spring, then they should be completed by August," he said. Staff also noted design changes required by DOT and rising construction costs had increased the project footprint and cost since initial estimates.
Council discussed procurement safeguards and the SAM contingency. A council member amended the motion to condition contract execution on a completed SAM registration and state approval; the amended motion passed on a roll-call vote. Council members said the project improves pedestrian access to Art Street businesses and the nearby park and that it helps leverage limited ARPA funds before the federal deadline.
