Council awards 2026 sidewalk replacement contract to Genite Company after single bid exceeds budget
Summary
The council accepted a single bid of $43,476 from Genite Company for the 2026 sidewalk replacement program, $8,476 over the $35,000 budget; staff said capital balances in parks and forestry could cover the overage and the ordinance awarding the contract passed by voice vote.
Public works staff reported that one qualified bid was received for the 2026 sidewalk replacement program covering roughly 84 slabs at 21 locations. "Their bid was $43,476," the presenter said, noting the amount is $8,476 over the program's $35,000 line item; staff recommended moving forward with Genite Company and said references for the subcontractor were excellent.
Council introduced and adopted Ordinance No. 101-2026 to accept Genite's proposal and authorize appropriation of $43,476 for the improvements; staff said other parks and forestry capital expenses came in under budget and could cover the overage. Council members asked procedural questions about options when only one bid is received, and staff described rebidding or targeted outreach as possible alternatives for future procurements.
