Summary
The Hammond City Board of Public Works and Safety opened two bids for the 2026 road maintenance program on Feb. 26, 2026 and referred both proposals to the city’s consultant for review and recommendation; one bid was missing an easily located non-collusion affidavit in the packet.
The Board of Public Works and Safety opened two bids for the 2026 road maintenance program at its Feb. 26 meeting and referred both proposals to the city’s consultant for tabulation and recommendation.
The Chair announced a bid from Site Services, Inc. in the amount of $478,132.98 and noted that the packet did not show a readily visible non‑collusion affidavit even though the form 96 was present. The Chair repeated the figure: “$478,132.98.”
The second bid, from Reith Riley of Berrien, Indiana, arrived with the form 96, a bid bond and a non‑collusion affidavit and was read into the record at $513,650.67. The Chair repeated that figure as well.
After opening both bids, a board member thanked the bidders and the Chair asked that the bids be referred to the consultant for “review, tabulation, and recommendation.” The board moved and concurred to refer the bids; no award was made at the meeting.
The board’s action means staff and the consultant will review the submission packages and return a recommendation to the Board of Public Works and Safety before any contract award. The transcript records no vote tally or formal award during the Feb. 26 meeting.
