Council awards 2026 storm sewer repair contract to Cook Paving
Summary
Council accepted Cook Paving and Construction's bid and authorized the mayor and administrative director to sign a contract for the 2026 storm sewer repair project (Ordinance 2026-O-10); staff said the project aims to complete repairs this construction season.
The Mentor on the Lake City Council voted to accept the low bid from Cook Paving and Construction Company and authorized the mayor and administrative director to execute a contract for the 2026 storm sewer repair project under Ordinance 2026-O-10.
Clerk read the ordinance authorizing the contract and council moved to suspend the rules for immediate passage. After suspension the ordinance passed on a roll-call vote with all present voting Aye. Staff noted the contract was procured through bid openings and described the work as the sinkhole/storm sewer repair project that includes sites on Plains Road and a collapsed storm sewer in the Dallas parking lot; staff also said an additional Cedarwood failure may be added to the scope and would be handled by change order.
During discussion a councilor asked whether the contractor was properly vetted; staff replied they had called multiple references and that the procurement team found no disqualifying issues. The city described the contract as cost-plus and warned that certain schedule-driven costs can increase overall price depending on Cook's schedule.
The ordinance was introduced in the meeting (topicintro: SEG 528) and the final passage was recorded on the roll call (topfinish: SEG 573).
