City says wastewater lift station bids come in far below estimates, construction to start late June
Summary
City staff reported bids for Milford's wastewater lift station dropped from an estimated $2.1 million to about $1.2 million; CIB funding will be adjusted while preserving a 50/50 loan/grant split and construction is scheduled after closing on June 25, 2026.
City staff told the council on June 16 that bids for the planned wastewater lift station were substantially lower than expected, reducing the estimated total from $2.1 million to about $1.2 million; "Construction is expected to begin after closing on June 25, 2026," staff said.
Council members were told the Community Impact Board (CIB) funding will be reduced to reflect the lower project cost while maintaining the originally discussed 50/50 loan-and-grant split. The council did not take further action at the meeting beyond acknowledging the update and the revised projected cost.
No contractor names or bid line-item details were provided in the meeting transcript; staff indicated construction scheduling will proceed after the stated closing date.
