The bids will due that day by 10:30 a.m. ET with the bid opening at 11 a.m. ET that day. The bids will be taken under advisement at that time to be discussed further at the April 9 Culver Town Council meeting.
Leist said the Culver Beach Lodge project is part of the Stellar Communities Designation program plans that were approved for the Town of Culver. The Beach Lodge will see a major renovation.

They’ll be taking down a couple of walls and making the main programming area larger. The addition on the street side will allow for a new staircase and elevator.”
The extensive construction contract is currently being reviewed by Leist and Town Attorney Jim Clevenger.
