Greendale approves $3,720 grading contract for temporary youth fields and seeks pricing for bike-and‑ped master plan
Summary
The commission authorized up to $3,720 to have Complete Contractors rough‑grade and finish a city lot for temporary youth fields, reviewed three bids, and voted to request pricing from two consultants (HWC and MSP) for a bike-and-pedestrian master plan grant.
The Greendale Redevelopment Commission voted to proceed with two near-term actions on June 11: award a grading contract for a city-owned lot across from the police station and request pricing from two consultants for a bike-and-pedestrian master plan supported by an Indiana Department of Health grant.
On the lot work, staff presented three bids: Complete Contractors ($3,720), McGraw Excavating ($5,800) and Hansel Demolition & Excavating ($8,200). The commission voted to award the work to Complete Contractors for a total amount not to exceed $3,720, with the work split into two visits (initial rough grading and a later finish/topsoil placement). Staff estimated roughly 360 tons of dirt and described a two-step schedule to allow the city crew to clean up debris between contractor visits.
Commissioners also approved a motion to request price proposals from the two top‑ranked firms recommended by the evaluation committee (identified in the packet as HWC and MSP) under a bike-and-pedestrian master plan grant. The committee had interviewed three firms and used a rubric to score proposals; commission members asked staff to obtain pricing from the two finalists and bring final contract recommendations to the April meeting.
Why it matters: the grading contract allows short‑term community use (youth fields) while commissioners reiterated the site may be better suited to housing in the long term. The bike-and-ped plan funding and consultant selection will guide future walking and cycling investments.
Next steps: staff will execute the grading contract (not to exceed $3,720) and obtain pricing from HWC and MSP for final selection at a future meeting.
