Council approves low bid to replace cemetery fencing and expand perimeter
Summary
Council accepted the low bid for new cemetery fencing (including an expansion), noted a permit from the utility company and asked staff to follow up about pillar repairs; the lowest quote was $4,840 from Michael's Fencing Supply.
Granite Falls City Council voted to approve the low bid to replace and extend cemetery fencing along the front area and a newly added parcel.
Staff presented a map showing the current and expanded cemetery area and provided two fence quotes; the lowest bid — $4,840 — came from Michael's Fencing Supply. Staff said the road work on the expanded area used recycled fines and that the city secured a permit from the local utility company (Excel) to work near transmission lines after site inspections.
Council members asked whether brick pillars shown on the site photos would be repaired or replaced; staff said pillars were not included in the bid but agreed to follow up with Don and return with options if pillar repair is needed. Staff recommended installing the fence this fall or next spring depending on scheduling.
A council member moved to approve the low bid, another seconded, and the motion passed by voice vote.
Next steps: staff to confirm pillar scope, schedule installation and return with any recommended adjustments to the scope if repairs are required.
