Crown Point board approves contract award for Gold Star Memorial Bike Trail
Summary
The Board of Public Works and Safety authorized the mayor to sign a construction contract and issue a notice to proceed for the Gold Star Memorial Bike Trail after accepting the lowest responsive bid. The board approved the award at its July 15 meeting.
The Crown Point Board of Public Works and Safety voted July 15 to accept the lowest responsive bid for the Gold Star Memorial Bike Trail and authorized the mayor to execute the contract and issue a notice to proceed.
Alex, an engineering staff member, told the board the bid review showed the lowest responsive bidder (transcribed in meeting materials variously as "Gary Up" and "Gearyap Construction"). "Appears that Gary Up is the lowest and most responsible responsive bidder," Alex said. The board proceeded to accept the quoted bid and complete the authorization.
The board recorded the motion to accept the bid and to authorize the mayor to execute the contract; members signaled approval and the motion passed. The meeting transcript includes a quoted figure of $27,500 when the amount was read to the board.
The authorization allows the city to issue a notice of award and a notice to proceed so construction can begin. The board did not discuss a construction start date in detail during this agenda item; engineering staff will follow up on schedule and contracting paperwork.
