Council advances High Street Phase 2 after single bid below engineer estimate; staff to hold preconstruction meeting
Summary
Staff reported one bid for High Street Phase 2 that came in below engineering estimates and met ITB requirements; the council moved the item forward and staff said it will pursue federal rural and TPF funding and hold a preconstruction meeting to set schedule details.
Staff reported that the council received a single bid for High Street Phase 2 and that the bid was below engineering expectations and met the Invitation to Bid (ITB) requirements. S3 told the Mayor and council that the bidder (referred to in the transcript as "file construction") submitted a compliant bid and that staff hopes to leverage federal rural funding and Transportation Project Fund (TPF) dollars.
"The bid did come in below engineering expectations of the project," S3 said, adding that the bidder has performed well on earlier phases and that staff expects scheduling details to be clarified at a preconstruction meeting. S3 noted the project will address areas from Center Court to Town Hall and connections near Mullet Road.
A motion to move the item forward was made and seconded later in the meeting; a roll call followed. The transcript records affirmative responses but does not provide a clear consolidated numeric vote tally in the provided record. Staff said a preconstruction meeting will be scheduled as soon as the item is awarded or otherwise advanced so the council will receive updated time frames.
The record does not supply a verified contractor name spelling beyond the transcript's rendering ('file construction'), nor does it supply a contract award number or contract value; those details were not specified in the provided transcript. Staff indicated the town will use federal and TPF funding sources where eligible.
