Town board awards $292,600 contract to rebuild Opera House stairs and front sidewalk
Summary
The board awarded Peyton Barlow Company the lowest responsible bid of $292,600 (to be paid from New York Forward funds) to rebuild Lancaster Opera House stairs and front sidewalk after reviewing three bids and the consulting engineer's recommendation.
The Town Board authorized an award to Peyton Barlow Company Inc. for the Lancaster Opera House staircase and sidewalk reconstruction project in an amount not to exceed $292,600. The contract award was based on three bids opened July 14 and a recommendation from the town’s consulting engineer; the board said the project will be paid from New York Forward funds allocated for the downtown front entrance.
Supervisor and staff described the bid as the lowest responsible and in conformance with specifications on file with the town engineer. “This money’s coming out of the New York Forward money,” the supervisor noted during the roll call discussion. The consulting engineer told the board the second-lowest bid was in the $300,000s and another bid exceeded $500,000; the board voted in favor on roll call.
Timeline and next steps: the supervisor is authorized to execute the contract subject to the town attorney’s receipt and approval of required documentation. Staff said the contractor will follow prevailing wage requirements and project scheduling will be coordinated with the Opera House team.
