Council awards contract for Selma Fire EMS housing phase 1 to Davis Moreno Construction Inc.
Summary
After staff reported the bid process produced five or six bids with close low bids, the council voted to award resolution 2026‑66 to Davis Moreno Construction Inc. for the Selma Fire EMS housing phase 1 project and authorized precon scheduling.
The Selma City Council voted to award a construction contract for the Selma Fire EMS housing phase 1 project to Davis Moreno Construction Inc., approving resolution 2026‑66 after staff described the bid process.
"I believe there were five or six bids on that project," staff said, noting the low and second bidder amounts were "extremely close," which staff called a sign that the bids reflected legitimate market pricing. Council asked about preconstruction steps; staff said a pre‑con meeting with the low bidder is the next step and estimated work would begin roughly a month after that meeting and contractor submittals.
The council moved and seconded the award and approved the contract by roll call. Staff confirmed the project will follow standard construction timelines specified in the contract documents and that additional preconstruction coordination remains to be completed.
Why it matters: the EMS housing project is a facility investment for public‑safety operations; awarding the contract starts the procurement to on‑the‑ground construction and enables the city to schedule preconstruction activities.
Vote and procedure: council recorded a roll‑call approval (yes votes recorded during the meeting). Staff will set a pre‑construction meeting with the awarded contractor and return as needed for contract administration matters.
Next steps: schedule the pre‑con meeting, receive contractor submittals, and confirm construction mobilization dates.
