Council approves $193,946 contract for Wolcott Avenue sidewalk; city to cover $26,000 gap
Summary
Council awarded the Wolcott Avenue sidewalk replacement contract to Woodland Manor LLC for $193,946 after the apparent low bidder withdrew; the project will replace 560 linear feet of sidewalk and add three ADA curb ramps, with a ~$26,000 local contribution to match CDBG funding.
City staff told council nine bids were received for the Wolcott Avenue sidewalk replacement (560 linear feet, 5-foot width, three ADA curb ramps). The apparent low bidder withdrew for scheduling reasons and staff recommended awarding the contract to the second-low bidder, Woodland Manor LLC of Putnam County, for $193,946. "We went to the 2nd low bidder... their bid was $193,946," staff reported and noted this is below the engineer's estimate but requires roughly $26,000 of local capital funding to fill a gap with expected CDBG reimbursement (presentation SEG 2317SEG 2340).
Council moved, seconded and approved awarding the contract by voice vote. Staff said references were checked for the recommended contractor and that the work will be funded via a mix of CDBG and local capital dollars; construction and ADA ramp installation were described as the scope.
