City project manager briefs board on five bids for 2026 street program
Summary
Hudson City project manager Ryan Loke told the Public Works Board the city received five responsive bids and explained differences in base bids, alternates, and mobilization costs that affected total pricing; he recommended Frank Bosley & Sons as a responsible bidder.
Ryan Loke, Hudson City’s project manager, gave the board an overview of the five bids the city received for its 2026 street-repair package and described key cost differences among the proposals.
Loke said some higher bids appeared driven by travel distance and large mobilization/demobilization line items; he noted that Frank Bosley & Sons’ package included no omissions and matched the bid requirements. “They've done work in the city before…they did sidewalk work in front of the police department on Union and submitted curb ramps last year,” Loke said to explain why the bid was considered responsible. Board members asked about site restoration, whether asphalt work was included, and how alternates were priced relative to the base bid.
Loke summarized that alternates generally aligned across bidders and that mobilization and site-restoration line items were factors explaining price spreads; he recommended the board consider both base and alternate pricing when weighing awards and scope.
