Committee recommends council approve RG Houston as low bidder for River Park Phase 1
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Committee voted to recommend that city council approve the Phase 1 River Park construction contract to RG Houston after staff confirmed the bid fits within RDA and River Park budgets.
The Parks and Recreation Committee voted to forward a recommendation to city council to award River Park Phase 1 work to RG Houston, identified in committee discussion as the low bidder.
Superintendent said, "RG Houston was the low bidder," and staff told the committee the project budget is covered by a combination of RDA funds and River Park funds and that the finance director had reviewed accounts and raised no objections. Committee members discussed the scope (in-water headrace and tailrace work, shoring, and a path under the culvert) and noted the contractor will coordinate means and methods with the DNR before construction starts.
Committee moved and seconded the recommendation and Chair called the vote; the motion carried to send the contract recommendation to council. Staff said construction scheduling and DNR coordination remain to be completed before a firm start date is set.
