Board schedules bids for 38th Place improvement phases and County Line culvert; Phase 1–2 estimate ~$5.3M
Summary
The board approved issuing bid documents for Phase 1 and 2 of the 38th Place/Fillmore project and concurrently reissuing County Line culvert bid documents; staff estimated ~$5.3 million for Phase 1–2 including contingency.
Staff presented plans and specifications for the 38th Place/Fillmore improvement work, asking the board to authorize issuance of bid documents for Phase 1 and 2. The presentation noted preliminary plans for additional phases (3 and 4) that would be considered later depending on funding and bids.
An engineer said the current estimate for phases 1 and 2 is approximately $5.3 million including a 15% contingency. Staff recommended running advertising on April 9 and 16, holding a pre-bid conference on April 30, opening bids on May 7 and returning an award recommendation by the board’s May 12 meeting.
The board also authorized reissuing the County Line culvert bid documents so that both projects could be bid concurrently with separate bid packages. Members discussed contractor qualification thresholds and the impact of combining bidding windows on pricing and contractor availability.
The vote authorized issuance of both bid packages as presented; the action directs staff to publish the advertisements and proceed with the pre-bid schedule noted.
