Council approves $348,970 curb‑ramps contract after low bidder disqualified
Summary
Staff recommended, and council approved, awarding the annual ADA curb‑ramps contract to ATEC Concrete for $348,970 after the apparent low bidder failed to meet experience thresholds; the award is under the $403,000 engineering estimate to allow work before paving season.
The council awarded the city's annual ADA curb‑ramps contract after staff reported a procurement wrinkle.
City staff said the apparent low bidder did not meet minimum experience requirements and withdrew, so staff recommended awarding the work to the second‑low bidder, ATEC Concrete, for $348,970 — below the engineering estimate of $403,000. "We assigned this then to the second low bidder, for the value of $348,970," staff told the council.
Council members asked about design consistency and prioritized completing curb ramps ahead of paving. The council approved the award by voice vote so the city can begin work and coordinate with 2025 paving plans.
