Durand council awards bandshell renovation bid, caps spending at $250,000
Summary
The City of Durand approved a $226,336 bid from Durand Builders for bandshell repairs and set a council cap not to exceed $250,000 to cover contingencies; funding will come from donations, general funds and possible borrowing.
The Durand City Council on July 8 voted to award a contract for repairs and renovation of the downtown bandshell to Durand Builders. Public Works Director Matt Gilles reported a single bid of $226,336 and recommended the council approve the award with a spending cap of $250,000 to ensure funds for contingencies.
Council Member Travis Hooker moved to approve the bid with the cap; Matt Roesler seconded and the motion passed by roll call vote. Gilles told the council that funds for the project will be sourced from donations, the city’s general fund and, if necessary, short-term borrowing. The council did not specify exact dollar allocations at the meeting; funding breakdowns were described as a combination of the sources above and not specified in further detail.
The award authorizes Public Works to proceed with contracting and construction scheduling; the council did not set a date for work to begin. The item follows standard municipal procurement and will proceed under the terms of the accepted bid.
