Trustees accept Carvour bid for Fire Station addition after bid review
Summary
Norwich Township trustees accepted Carvour Construction’s bid and signed a contract to add onto Fire Station No. 2, after reviewing warranties, insurance and specifications; building permits and prosecutor review were required before work begins.
Norwich Township trustees voted to accept Carvour Construction’s bid and signed a contract to build the previously advertised addition to Fire Station No. 2.
The board reviewed bidders’ certificates of insurance and warranty terms before the vote. Trustee Webster D. Junk moved to accept Carvour’s bid; the motion was seconded and approved on a voice vote. The clerk was instructed to notify the contractor to proceed subject to required building permits and the county prosecutor’s approval of contract documents.
The vote followed earlier steps to reissue specifications and publicly advertise bids; the trustees had set a special meeting to open bids on Friday, Feb. 7. Trustees emphasized that Carvour’s submission included a 10‑year paint warranty and a one‑year workmanship warranty, and that townships will withhold initial payments until completion milestones and required paperwork are verified.
The chief of the fire department and the board discussed equipment and construction details during bid interviews. The board directed the clerk to verify insurance, contractor credentials and building permits before releasing any payments.
Next steps: the contractor will proceed after the township confirms permit approvals and the prosecutor signs off on the contract.
