Board approves CL Richardson quote for culvert replacement after only one sealed bid
Summary
Staff recommended accepting a lower open-market quote of $30,793.55 from CL Richardson for an East Lloyd Martin Road culvert installation after rejecting a much larger sealed-bid price; aldermen approved the quote and staff noted scheduling likely in late August or early September.
City staff presented a recommendation to accept an open-market quote from C.L. Richardson for the installation of a culvert on East Lloyd Martin Road for $30,793.55. Staff explained that a sealed-bid installation response had been much higher ($155,272.75) and was rejected as too costly; staff said scheduling constraints make the lower local quote more practical, though only one sealed bid had been returned for the installation.
Board members questioned schedule and the reason for the cost differential. Staff said the lower quote should complete the work in one to two days and estimated installation in late August or early September; the board voted to accept the C.L. Richardson quote.
