Council accepts Hawkeye Enterprises' $92,850 bid for George Kell Park work
Summary
Newport accepted Hawkeye Enterprises' low bid of $92,850 for George Kell Park improvements after reviewing three bids certified by the project engineer; the award passed unanimously.
The Newport City Council voted Oct. 7 to accept a certified low bid of $92,850 from Hawkeye Enterprises for improvements at George Kell Park.
Mayor Ratliffe presented a proof of publication and a bid tabulation certified by Project Engineer Wayne Menley showing three bids: Cox Paving at $143,340, Hawkeye Enterprises at $92,850 and Wagner General Contractors at $138,000. After discussion, Regina Lake moved to accept Hawkeye Enterprises' bid and Michael Allen seconded; the motion carried 7-0.
The minutes record the bid acceptance but do not detail the scope breakdown or scheduled start and completion dates for the project. Council members asked no additional questions on the record; the city engineer's certification was entered into the file. The award authorizes staff to proceed with contract execution consistent with the low-bid procurement outcome.
The council adjourned with other routine business pending; project implementation steps and timelines will be handled by the city's public-works and engineering staff.
