Bid awards for the spring surface treatment, street and sidewalk projects were considered during Monday night’s Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety meeting.
City Engineer Rick Gaul informed the BOW members that the bid for the spring surface treatment project that was submitted by Pavement Solutions initially came in over budget at $240,788.98.
He said in order to bring down the cost, the proposed streets in the project were assessed. Gaul said after consulting with Street Superintendent Jim Marquardt and Clerk-Treasurer Jeanine Xaver about the specifics, he felt the work on Randolph Street could wait while the work on Webster Avenue was established as the highest priority. Gaul said they will hold off on Randolph and rebid for that project in the future.
Once Randolph was dropped off, the project bid came in at $128,625.86. After explaining how the bid was reworked, Gaul recommended awarding the surface treatment bid to Pavement Solutions for them to complete the work needed on Webster Avenue from Michigan Street to Angel Street.
Gaul also presented members with the bid for the street and sidewalk projects this spring. He said there were five bidders on for these projects and the lowest bid came in from Walsh and Kelly for $157,829.40. He said they alerted the company of a minor typo in their bid but other than that, everything else was in alignment.
BOW Members unanimously approved Gaul’s recommendations to accept the bid from Pavement Solutions for the surface treatment project on Webster Street and the bid from Walsh and Kelly for the street and sidewalk projects.
