Alma council accepts RMV Construction low bid for airport hangars

The Alma City Council on April 15 accepted RMV Construction’s low bid to build hangars at the Alma Municipal Airport and approved a related project invoice, both actions tied to Federal AIP project numbers recorded in the minutes.

Olsson, the city’s project engineer for the AIP-3-31-0004-014/015/016 work, publicly opened seven bids on April 1 and evaluated the proposals. Council moved to accept RMV Construction as the low, complete bidder (motion by Tom Moulton; second by Larry Casper). The motion passed on a roll call vote of council members present (yes: Moulton, Casper, Mahalek, Wheeler; no: none recorded).

At the same meeting the council approved estimate #8 / invoice #569307 in the amount of $12,291.40 for project AIP-3-31-0004-014 (Olsson Project No. 024-02280). The minutes record an ineligible additional cost of $25,184.00 for a rollup door that was noted in the evaluation; the approved RMV low bid is recorded as $1,185,305.50 in the minutes. Olsson’s evaluation was cited by staff as the basis for the recommendation; the minutes name a Curtis Chrisitanson as the project engineer present for the bid opening and evaluation.

Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes indicate acceptance of the low bidder and approval of the invoice; the minutes do not record final contract execution dates or federal grant closeout steps. The agenda item and vote were recorded under the airport project entries in the minutes.
