Howard board approves $2.4 million Miron contract to add living quarters at Fire Station #2
Summary
The Village Board unanimously approved a contract with Miron Construction not to exceed $2,402,320 to add living quarters to Fire Station #2, a project that requires new sanitary sewer and utility work because the existing septic system cannot accommodate the addition.
The Village of Howard Board unanimously approved a contract with Miron Construction for up to $2,402,320 to add living quarters to Fire Station #2. Administrator Paul Evert said bids were higher than budgeted but not unexpected given current construction costs, and trustees emphasized the project’s role in improving emergency response on the village’s west side.
Amanda Manteufel, a representative of Miron Construction, presented the bid and "presented the recommended contract amount of $2,402,320." Director of Engineering Josh Gerrits said the existing septic system cannot accommodate the addition, requiring a new sanitary sewer connection, relocation of the water service, and storm sewer modifications. Trustee Cathy Hughes moved to accept and reject the bids as presented and enter into the contract with Miron Construction with a not-to-exceed price of $2,402,320; Trustee Daniel Kussow seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
The board did not specify the financing source in the discussion transcript; trustees asked questions about site utilities and construction scope but no financing motion was recorded in the minutes. The decision advances the design and construction phase and triggers required utility work before occupancy.
