Baxter council directs engineer to proceed with SW Avenue Phase 2B reconstruction; alternate contingent on bond funding
Summary
After reviewing bids for the SW Avenue Phase 2B Rippey and Chichaqua Trail Improvement Reconstruction Project, the council directed the project engineer to proceed with the base bid and to include the alternate if bond funding becomes available.
The Baxter City Council reviewed a bid letting summary for the SW Avenue Phase 2B Rippey and Chichaqua Trail Improvement Reconstruction Project at its March 9 meeting. After the project engineer presented the summary, the council directed the engineer to proceed with the base bid and to include the alternate if bond funding allows; the instruction was recorded as a council direction rather than a separate formal vote.
The direction signals the council's intent to move the project forward pending financing decisions. Council discussion referenced bond funding as the condition under which the alternate would be pursued; staff and the engineer were instructed to continue work on bid and financing logistics.
Next steps: the engineer will continue with bid administration and staff will report back with bond-funding options and next procurement steps at a future meeting.
