Page council authorizes city manager to award Cold Spring subdivision public-works contract up to $600,000
Summary
Council authorized the city manager to award the low bid and sign a contract for street, curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements in the Cold Spring subdivision, subject to a council cap of $600,000, to avoid delaying construction start dates.
The Page City Council on Nov. 13 authorized the city manager to award a public-works contract for curb, gutter, street and sidewalk improvements in the Cold Spring subdivision, with a not-to-exceed cap of $600,000. Staff explained that bids are due Dec. 5 and waiting until January’s regular meeting could delay the contractor’s schedule, so the council granted authorization to the city manager to award the low bidder and sign the agreement under the pre-set cap.
Why council acted: The city has set a $600,000 cap for the work; staff said contractors were expected to start earthwork before December and that delaying a formal award could disrupt scheduling. The authority granted is limited to awarding the contract to the low bidder not to exceed the council-set cap.
Vote and implementation: A motion to authorize the city manager to award the bid and sign the contract carried unanimously. The motion included the explicit price cap; staff will proceed to award the contract following bid opening and verification of compliance with the cap.
Provenance: Staff presented the bid schedule and cap; council made and carried the authorizing motion on the record.
