Lowest bid for Summer Street sewers is $138,884; board refers bids to engineering
Summary
The Hammond City Board opened three bids for the Summer Street Sewers project—Hassy ($260,472.82), Dyer Construction ($202,200) and Grimmer Construction ($138,884)—and voted to refer the bids to consultant Chris Moore of Neese Engineering for review and recommendation.
The Hammond City Board of Public Works and Safety opened three bids for the Summer Street Sewers project and voted to send the proposals to the city’s engineering consultant for review.
Chair read the bids on the record: “The quote from Hassy is $260,472.82,” and listed the other offers, including Dyer Construction at $202,200 and Grimmer Construction at $138,884. A board member asked that the board “refer this to our consultant, Chris Moore with Neese Engineering for a review and recommendation.” The motion to refer the bids to engineering was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board did not record a roll‑call tally in the transcript; the approval was by general voice consent.
The referral means city engineering will evaluate responsiveness and recommend whether to award the contract or reject bids if further clarification is needed. No award was made at the meeting; staff said the next step is a consultant review and recommendation to the board.
