Archie approves park fence contract; board conditions black‑fence upgrade on bid reduction
Summary
The board accepted KB Pipe and Fence's bid for new park fencing, asking the contractor to reduce the price to $7,500 for an upgraded black fence and assigning city staff to prepare the site and remove the old fence.
The Archie Board of Aldermen accepted a park fence bid Feb. 10, approving installation by KB Pipe and Fence provided the company can lower its upgraded black‑fence price to $7,500.
Alderman Branden Molzahn presented two bids; the Park Board had recommended KB Pipe and Fence. The base bid was $5,811; an optional upgrade to black fencing raised the price to $7,900. The board’s motion specified the city staff would prepare the site and remove existing fencing if the contractor could bring the price to $7,500. Alderman Kendrick moved to accept the conditional bid; Alderman Houchen seconded. The motion passed with Houchen—yes, Kendrick—yes, Molzahn—yes; Alderman Tony Sallee absent.
The board discussed aesthetics and a cohesive appearance with existing black fencing installed last year as reasons for considering the upgrade. The contract award is conditional on the vendor’s acceptance of the $7,500 price; staff will finalize details and return with any contract paperwork or updates.
