The Bremen Town Council members approved a contract with Brown and Brown General Contractors to do the work with the upcoming Jackson Street project.
The Town of Bremen was awarded Stellar grant funds for several projects including the Jackson Street project which involves an outdoor pavilion, stage area, a lot of greenspace, new trees, benches, and lighting to create a downtown community gathering area.
Mike Reese from The Troyer Group made the recommendation to the council at a meeting in April to approve the bid from Brown and Brown General Contractors. He said they provided the lowest base bid of $1,279,100 and had the lowest any combination of alternate bids.
Three alternate bids were also chosen which include bid alternate #1 for a propane fire pit, alternate #3 for the tongue and groove wood in the pavilion, and alternate #5 which is a deduct for the gutter system.
The entire cost that includes the alternate bids totals $1,303,700.
The project is anticipated to begin June 14 following the Bremen Firemen’s Festival parade.
