Safford awards 8th Avenue sewer extension contract to HT4 for about $700,000
Summary
Council awarded the 8th Avenue sewer extension (phase one of Discovery Park Boulevard/park) to local bidder HT4 as the low responsive bidder at $699,950 and authorized change orders up to 10% of contract value.
The Safford City Council awarded the construction contract for the 8th Avenue sewer extension (CIP PK‑2303E) to HT4 of Safford, the lowest responsive bidder, at $699,950.
Staff described the project as a 12‑inch sewer main and associated appurtenances along 8th Avenue and 26th Street to serve the future Discovery Park Boulevard and park. The project is budgeted in the Wastewater Enterprise fund with a planned amount of $1.2 million for the full project; this contract is phase one.
Three bids were publicly read; HT4 submitted the low responsive bid and staff recommended award. Council approved the contract and authorized the city manager to approve change orders not to exceed 10% of the contract value if necessary.
Why it matters: The construction enables future park development and utility service to planned growth areas; the award moves the project from planning into construction.
Next steps: Staff will issue the contract to HT4 and proceed with construction oversight and any authorized change orders.
