Council to pursue lower bid for fire-hydrant repairs; Southwick recommended
Summary
After reviewing two bids, a council member recommended awarding the fire-hydrant repair work to Southwick Construction because it provided a lower quote and has local experience; item to be placed on the consent agenda for the regular meeting.
Council members reviewed two bids for fire-hydrant repairs and recommended using the lower-cost vendor, Southwick Construction, which has prior experience working in Eureka. The quotes were uploaded to the shared drive; council members noted Southwick was familiar with local infrastructure and priced the work lower than Newman Construction.
A council member recommended placing the item on the consent agenda of the next regular meeting and awarding the work to Southwick. "Southwick was cheaper. They've been up here a lot. They're very familiar with our work," one council member said. Staff will place the contract recommendation on the upcoming regular meeting consent agenda for formal action.
