Council awards First Street reconstruction contract after bids reviewed
Summary
Council approved awarding the First Street reconstruction (between William and Howard) to the lowest responsible bidder after the low bid was found nonresponsive; staff identified the 2nd lowest bidder as meeting requirements and council approved the contract 8–0.
Council approved awarding the First Street reconstruction contract after staff reported the low bid did not meet all project specifications and recommended the next lowest responsive bidder.
The project covers full reconstruction of First Street between William and Howard, including removal and replacement of the roadway and addressing subgrade issues. Staff reported a public bid opening on April 29, 2026 with three bids ranging from $222,650 to $576,661; the apparent low bidder was found unable to meet specifications, so the award was recommended to Sawyer Construction as the lowest responsible bidder. The council voted 8–0 to approve the contract authorization (agenda language earlier referenced an amount of $465,032.90).
