Council awarded Sheetz Design Build LLC a $632,305.87 contract to construct the Maquoketa spray pad after staff said three competitive bids were received; the council approved the resolution by roll call.

The Maquoketa City Council voted to award a construction contract to Sheetz Design Build LLC for $632,305.87 to build the city’s spray pad project.

City staff reported receiving three competitive bids and recommended Sheetz Design Build based on price and prior city project experience. The mayor read the contract amount into the record: "in the amount of $632,305.87 for the Makokuta spray pad project." Contractor representative Scott (speaker 7) told the council the quotes were favorable and that the project was within budget, saying, "we've got a lot going for us, well within budget, to the tune of $700,000 or so better than than anticipated." The council moved and approved the resolution by roll call.

The council’s approval authorizes the city to proceed with construction; staff and the contractor noted schedules and prior winter work indicating some fall/winter construction windows. A subsequent agenda item approved the equipment purchase and installation by specialized vendors.
