The Argos Town Council members took action to advertise for bids for new utility building projects.
Town Attorney Derek Jones explained that the council previously advertised for the project and they later rejected the bids for the two different buildings. Jones said he and Utility Superintendent Jamie Lindstrom have since worked to redo the agreement and the advertisement for bids.
The timetable was adjusted in the agreement. Jones commented that the first building must be completed within 180 days from the issuance of the award. Then there needs to be a few months with no construction so Lindstrom can have time to mobilize items from the old building to the new building and prepare the old building for demolition. Once that is done, the second building project can begin. The second building needs to be done within 18 months within the issuance of award.
The advertisement indicates that bids will be due Monday, June 13 and the council members will consider the bids Wednesday, June 15 during their regular meeting.
The council approved motions to advertise the bid package, and the agreement that discusses the timetable.
