Redevelopment commission approves $10,307 bid for electrical connections at Durban Plaza housing project
Summary
The Lawrenceburg redevelopment commission voted July 13 to award a $10,307.08 contract to Electrical Connection Incorporated for electrical hookups tied to the Durban Plaza tax-credit housing project; commissioners allowed staff latitude to work with the alternate bidder if scheduling conflicts arise.
The Lawrenceburg redevelopment commission voted July 13 to award a $10,307.08 contract to Electrical Connection Incorporated to install electrical connections for the tax-credit housing project at Durban Plaza. The motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote during the meeting.
Commission members took up the matter under old business after staff described the scope: removing a span of electric poles between the adult center and the new project and completing building connections. Staff reported two qualified bids: Whiskey City Electric at $10,805 and Electrical Connection Incorporated at $10,307.08. "The original was from Whiskey City Electric was $10,805," the Staff member said, noting the second estimate at $10,307.08.
A commissioner asked whether three bids were required; the Chair asked aloud, "We required to have 3?" and the Staff member replied, "No, we're not." Commissioners discussed awarding to the lower bidder while preserving flexibility if scheduling created delays. The Chair asked for a motion "to move forward with the Electrical Connection Incorporated for the bid of $10,307.08." A motion to approve was made and seconded; the commission responded with audible "Aye" votes and no opposition was recorded.
Staff said that if scheduling conflicts emerge, they would give LMU latitude to work with Whiskey City Electric as an alternate. The Staff member remarked that scheduling or speed to completion could influence the final contractor selection. The commission’s action authorized staff to proceed with Electrical Connection Incorporated while allowing staff to coordinate with the alternate bidder if necessary.
The decision followed routine agenda procedures and was recorded after a brief discussion of procurement and scheduling. The commission also heard a Main Street program update and later approved certified claims before adjourning. The commission did not record individual roll-call votes for the contract award; the outcome was announced by voice vote during the meeting.
