Wastewater lift station bids come in $900,000 under estimate; construction to start after June 25 closing
Summary
Bids for Milford’s wastewater lift station arrived far below projections, reducing the project estimate from $2.1 million to roughly $1.2 million; CIB funding will be reduced accordingly while keeping a 50/50 loan/grant split and construction is expected to start after closing on June 25, 2026.
Staff reported that bids for the wastewater lift station project were significantly lower than anticipated, decreasing the estimated project cost from about $2.1 million to approximately $1.2 million. The lower bids will reduce the Community Impact Board (CIB) funding request while maintaining the planned 50/50 loan and grant split.
City staff indicated construction is expected to begin after closing on June 25, 2026. The council received the update as an informational item; no formal motion or change in scope was recorded at the meeting. The reduction in estimated project cost may affect budget allocations and will be reflected in forthcoming funding and contracting documents.
