Summary
At a Feb. 3, 2026 bid opening, the City of Ironton recorded six bids for the Main Street bridge project; Pace Construction had the lowest bid at $588,000. The transcript records bid amounts and clerk filings but no award or acceptance vote.
The City of Ironton opened bids for the Main Street bridge project at a meeting called to order on Feb. 3, 2026, at 10 a.m. by Colter Gaebler of Smith & Co. City Clerk Holly Fox recorded six bids and identified Pace Construction as the lowest bidder at $588,000.
The clerk listed the bids in the following order and amounts: Jokerst, Inc., $690,176.65; Pace Construction, $588,000.00; Joe's Bridge & Grading, $632,121.60; Brockmiller Construction, $625,140.07; PCX Construction, $777,000.00; and Mera Excavating, $717,052.75. The transcript notes that all bids included prerequisite documents, bid bonds and acknowledgment of the addendum.
Holly Fox submitted the bid-opening record dated Feb. 3, 2026, and the transcript includes an additional clerk signature dated Feb. 9, 2026. The record states it was "Approved by the Ironton Board of Aldermen," but the transcript does not include any motion, second, roll-call vote or formal award of the contract at the meeting. No timelines for bid review, contract award, or required approvals from other bodies were recorded in the transcript.
Colter Gaebler of Smith & Co. presided over the opening; present municipal officials included Mayor Don Barzowski and Aldermen James Layton, Andrew McClanahan, Roy Logan and Jill Sutton. Guests noted in the record included Lynn Schremp, Shannon Jenkins, Kellan C. and Jessica Hayes.
Next steps typically include staff review of bids and a formal award or rejection by the board, but the transcript contains no such action. The council or clerk will need to publish the bid tabulation and record any subsequent award or contract approval in later minutes or filings.
