Board awards Girls School Road complete-streets contract to Calumet Civil for $10.37 million
Summary
DPW recommended and the Board approved awarding ST-29020 (Girls School Road, Rockville Rd to 21st St) to Calumet Civil Contractors Inc. for a not-to-exceed $10,374,000; the project includes 1.7 miles of new pedestrian facilities and upgrades to a 10-foot multiuse path in places.
The Board of Public Works voted to award ST-29020 (Girls School Road, Rockville Road to 21st Street) to Calumet Civil Contractors Inc. for a not-to-exceed contract amount of $10,374,000, the engineering division reported. Nathan Sheets said the low bid was about 7% below the engineer's estimate of $11,235,566.50 and that five bids were received on April 23, 2026.
Sheets described the project as a West Side Complete Streets effort that will rehabilitate travel lanes (one lane each direction with a two-way left-turn lane), install a multipurpose path on the west side, add landscape setbacks and tree lawns to support improved stormwater drainage, and apply longer-lasting thermoplastic pavement markings. He said the work will deliver about 1.7 miles of new pedestrian facilities and upgrade about 1,600 feet from a standard five-foot sidewalk to a 10-foot multiuse path. Substantial completion is scheduled for Nov. 30, 2027, with final completion on Aug. 10, 2028.
