The Bourbon Town Council members opened bids for the proposed upcoming Community Crossings projects in a special meeting Tuesday afternoon.
Street Superintendent Roger Terry previously said micro sealing will be done on Shaffer Road from State Road 331 to Harris Street and on Liberty Street from State Road 331 to Harris Street.
Additionally, one-and-a-half overlay of asphalt will be applied on E. North Street from Thayer to Lincoln, N. Thayer Street from North to Park, N. Washington Street from Sunset to Liberty, and W. Jackson Street from Third to Ecker.
Bids ranged from $140,000 to $199,000 for the projects. There were two bids that JPR representatives will be looking at closely as they are close in price. Niblock Excavating submitted a bid of $140,599.55 and E&B Paving submitted a bid of $145,598. Those bids will be reviewed with a recommendation to be considered by the Bourbon Town Council members in April.
The Town of Bourbon was awarded nearly $210,000 for the project in INDOT’s Community Crossings Matching Grant program.
In another piece of Street Department business, Roger Terry told the Bourbon Town Council at a previous meeting that leaf pick-up begins Tuesday, March 30 and will run two weeks.
