Town and Country staff recommend LCS, LLC for Maintenance Annex after bid review; contract continued to May 26
Summary
At the May 11 Board of Aldermen meeting, Navigate presented bid results for the Public Works Maintenance Annex and recommended a contract with LCS, LLC for $2,247,069 and a 304‑day timeline; the Board continued the contractor authorization to its May 26 meeting for second reading of related ordinances.
The Board of Aldermen heard a presentation May 11 from Navigate Building Solutions on bids for the city’s Public Works Maintenance Annex and salt facility project and was asked to consider awarding the contract to LCS, LLC.
David Bradley of Navigate told the board that eight bids were received with an average bid of $2,346,795 compared with Navigate’s estimate of $2,363,889. Navigate recommended entering a contract with LCS, LLC for $2,247,069 with a 304‑calendar‑day schedule; assuming mobilization in June 2026, substantial completion was projected in early April 2027. Bradley said the recommended price included soil remediation and weather days and noted LCS had positive references.
City staff reported the overall program budget is tracking below the $3.4 million program estimate, and that the construction contingency is set at roughly 10 percent to cover changes such as Architectural Review Board requests. Public Works Director Todd Rehg and Navigate explained that several factors — including a design change related to Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) evaluations — influenced bid pricing and that public project bidding remains slow generally.
The board did not take final contract action May 11. Mayor Steve Rehm read related ordinances by title and Mayor Rehm and others indicated action on the contractor agreement (Bill No. 26‑22) and an additional services extension with Navigate (Bill No. 26‑21) will be continued to the May 26 meeting for second reading and formal vote.
Next steps: the Board will consider the contractor agreement and related project ordinances at its May 26 meeting; if awarded as recommended, staff anticipates mobilization in June and substantial completion by early April 2027.
