Cedar Creek trustees review three bridge repair bids, schedule emergency meeting to award contract
Summary
Trustees reviewed three bridge repair bids Nov. 19 ranging from $22,311.80 to $54,000.52, discussed contingencies and legal constraints, and scheduled an emergency Zoom meeting for Nov. 20 to finalize contractor selection.
The Cedar Creek Board of Trustees reviewed three bids for a bridge repair contract at its Nov. 19 meeting and scheduled an emergency meeting the following day to assign the contract and begin construction. Trustee Fotoplos reported bids from JJK Construction ($54,000.52), Fuxa Enterprises ($24,250) and JMN Construction ($22,311.80).
Trustee Fotoplos suggested adding a $10,000 contingency to the chosen contract to cover potential unforeseen costs; the village attorney advised that an open contingency amount was not allowable under municipal law. Fotoplos agreed to consult contractors to estimate likely contingencies and return the estimates to the board.
Prescott proposed holding an emergency Zoom meeting at 4:00 p.m. on Nov. 20 to review contractor estimates and award the contract so work can begin promptly. The minutes record the bids and the plan to expedite selection but do not record a contract award at the Nov. 19 meeting.
The minutes do not include contractor timelines or detailed scope of work; trustees asked staff and contractors to provide contingency estimates and clarifications for the emergency session.
