Summary

Staff said grant funding of just over $2 million supports the access-road project; the low bidder, CW Roberts Contracting, submitted a bid around $1,000,005.23 and the commission moved to award the contract pending state approval.

City staff told commissioners they have opened bids for RFP 2026-03, the workforce-housing access-road project, and that the work would be funded principally by a grant valued at just over $2 million. After an engineering review of proposals, staff reported the low bidder as CW Roberts Contracting with a bid price reported in the packet at roughly $1,000,005.23 and recommended awarding the contract pending state approval.

"I'll award it to CW Roberts, pending approval from the state," a staff speaker said, and the chair entertained a motion. A commissioner moved the award and it was seconded on the record. Commissioners discussed the project purpose — providing access for workforce-housing development — and reiterated that award is contingent on final state review and contract approval.

A commissioner also emphasized that the access road is not an invitation for uncontrolled development, saying the city will retain control over project specifics and the housing program’s intent.

The transcript records the recommendation, the low-bid amount posted in the meeting materials, and that the commission moved and seconded the award; no recorded roll-call or final signed contract was included in the excerpt.
