Town Board awards Northwoods Paving contracts for Tri-Lakes and Otter Bay roads

An extra Town Board meeting on June 8, 2026, resulted in the board awarding two road-paving contracts to Northwoods Paving after the company submitted the only bids for both projects.

Jeff Hurula, Supervisor, moved to award the Tri‑Lakes Road contract to Northwoods Paving for $259,027.80 and the Otter Bay Road contract to Northwoods Paving for $263,176.00; Supervisor Scott McKinney seconded the motion, which the board carried. The meeting was called to order by Roy Bloom, Chair, at 4:30 p.m. in the Civic Center and adjourned at 5:00 p.m.

Public works staff reported there were two projects out to bid—Tri‑Lakes Road and Otter Bay Road—and that Northwoods Paving was the sole bidder for each. Staff noted the Otter Bay project is partially funded through a Local Road Improvement Program (LRIP) grant; Delmore Consulting provided an estimate of $250,000 used for LRIP calculations. The two submitted bids exceeded the projects' budgeted amounts: the Tri‑Lakes bid of $259,027.80 versus a budgeted $244,410, and the Otter Bay bid of $263,176.00 versus a budgeted $217,512.

The board took formal action to award the contracts at the submitted amounts. The transcript records the motion as "Motion by Hurula, second by McKinney to award the Tri‑Lakes paving project to Northwoods Paving for $259,027.80 and the Otter Bay paving project to Northwoods Paving for $263,176.00. CARRIED." The record does not specify individual vote tallies beyond the motion being carried. The board did not state on the record how any budget shortfalls would be resolved.

With the awards recorded, the board adjourned at 5:00 p.m.
