Engineer reports Fairmount bids far below grant; council considers reallocating balance to trails and splash pad repairs
Summary
Engineer Jeff Shue said the lowest of 13 bids for the Fairmount project was $111,000 versus a $234,000 grant; DCED would not allow leftover funds for building repairs but would allow splash-pad and trail work, prompting council to favor allocating the balance to walking-trail repairs.
Engineer Jeff Shue told council that 13 bids were received for the Fairmount project and the lowest bid, from Restuccia, was $111,000 against a $234,000 grant. "The grant was $234,000 and the lowest bid is for $111,000," the minutes state; Shue said he called DCED and was told leftover grant funds cannot be used for building repairs but could be applied to splash-pad and trail repairs.
Council members agreed the balance would be best used on walking trails; Shue also updated the council that Shiloh Paving completed the final slab at the W. Broadway retaining wall with paving expected within two weeks depending on weather, and that draw and final payments are scheduled in the coming weeks.
