Council awards Lower Farmington Creek trail contract to MC Green and Sons
Summary
After staff presented grant and bid details, the council unanimously awarded the Lower Farmington Creek trail construction contract to MC Green and Sons (low bid about $166,000) and approved an option to build a bridge for roughly $52,000; staff said grant funding and a later budget amendment will cover the city's share.
City staff told the council the rebid for the Lower Farmington Creek trail produced a low bid of roughly $166,000 with an optional bridge add-on priced at about $52,000. Staff said two grants total nearly $250,000 but the city may have an obligation of up to 50% for some items and that the council would need a budget amendment later to cover the city's share.
The project manager recommended awarding the contract to MC Green and Sons, noting the firm has prior experience on federal projects. "The low bid came in at $166,000 with an option to build a bridge for another $52,000," staff said. Councilmember-level discussion was brief. A motion to approve the contract and bid was moved, seconded and the council voted unanimously to award the work to MC Green and Sons with the bridge option available. The mayor remarked, after votes were recorded, "Happy trails." The council directed staff to return with any necessary budget amendments.
