Salisbury council approves awards for ADA ramps, stormwater work and park handrail

The Salisbury City Council approved three procurement awards on June 8 after the Department of Procurement presented the solicitations and recommended low bidders.

Procurement staff (presented by Mr. Love) described the awards: ITB 26‑123 (ADA ramps and sidewalks in the Church Street/Doverdale area) was recommended to AJT Homes; ITP 26‑124 (war memorial stormwater improvements near the old Pep Boys) was recommended to Georgia Lynch with a low bid of $169,270.18; and a project to repair and renovate the handrail portion of the historic park bridge at Stellant City Park was recommended to ECP Inc. with a low bid of $115,705.45.

Council moved and seconded the procurement approvals and approved them by voice vote; the chair also voted aye. The transcript records voice responses of “aye” and the chair’s affirmative vote; the meeting did not record a complete roll‑call tally in the transcript.

A council member asked about the timeline for the ADA ramps; Mr. Love said the contract would be released the next day and work would likely begin mid to late July, and that the ADA/sidewalk work is funded through HUD CDBG funds. Procurement said bids had been posted in late April and opened in late May, and that the projects follow the city’s procurement procedures as defined in the city charter and code of ordinances.

The awards were presented as part of routine infrastructure and accessibility work; no appeal or dissent was reported in the transcript. The council moved on to other business after approving the awards.
