Trustees conditionally award Old Hochetown Road resurfacing to low bidder for $781,000
Summary
The Hochatown trustees voted to award the Old Hochetown Road resurfacing contract to RAP Construction for the low bid of $781,000, contingent on satisfactory reference checks and submission of required contract documents within two weeks.
The board voted to award the Old Hochetown Road resurfacing contract to the low bidder, RAP Construction, in a motion that included a contingency for satisfactory reference checks.
Speaker 10 (Presenter) reported that five bids were received, ranging from $781,000 to $1.1 million and said the engineer's estimate was $885,000. “We had 5 bids submitted by the deadline yesterday… It ranged from 781,000 to 1,100,000,” the Presenter said. The trustee who moved the motion said the award would be contingent on the firm providing acceptable references and completing contract paperwork within two weeks so work can begin April 15 and meet the 45-day completion schedule.
Board members discussed the risks and the reference-check process. Staff explained if references were not satisfactory the town would pause and reissue or move to the next qualified bidder, which could delay completion by days to weeks. The motion passed on a roll-call vote and the board instructed staff to send the notice of award and proceed with reference checks and contract finalization.
Next steps: staff will verify references, finalize contract documents, and return signed notices to RAP Construction before issuing a formal notice to proceed. If references are unsatisfactory, staff will return to the board with recommended next steps.
