Town Council opens paving bids; staff to seek NDOT funding after low bid comes in under estimate
Summary
Council staff reported DC Construction Services submitted the low paving bid of $202,095.86, below the engineer/insurance estimate of $206,000, and said they will submit the bid to the state transportation program (NDOT) to pursue funding.
At a town council meeting, staff opened paving bids and reported DC Construction Services submitted a low bid of $202,095.86, which an agency official said was below the engineer/insurance estimate of $206,000. "So, DC Services is below the insurance estimate," the agency official said.
The official said staff will submit the low bid to the state transportation program (referred to in the transcript as NDOT) to try to secure a place in the funding queue and to pursue leftover CCMG funding. The official added that if the project is not funded on this round, staff will reapply on the next call in June or July.
Council members did not debate the bid amounts at length at the meeting; they asked staff to review the bids and return recommended actions to the council. The motion to have staff review bids and prepare recommendations passed by voice vote (recorded as four "ayes").
