Council accepts lowest bid for CCMG project; Howard Companies recommended at $93,577.76
Summary
Town staff reported a Community Crossing Matching Grant award and recommended Howard Companies as low bidder at $93,577.76; council approved moving forward with Howard as the contractor.
Town staff told the council that the Community Crossing Matching Grant (CCMG) notice of award is in hand and that Howard Companies of Indie submitted the lowest responsive bid for the related street work at $93,577.76.
The town clerk reported that references were checked and bid documents compared 'apples to apples.' Councilors moved to accept the recommendation and to authorize proceeding with Howard Companies; the motion passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The CCMG is intended to fund road replacement work connected to the project in town. Selecting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder begins the contracting process and allows street work tied to the grant to move forward in coordination with other scheduled county or grant projects.
Next steps: A motion was approved to proceed with Howard Companies; staff will finalize contracting steps and schedule the work. Council noted the project will tie into planned road work under the grant program.
