• Combined Project Locations 
Near the completion of design, City staff elected to combine both project locations into a single 
bid package. Because the work is similar in scope, bidding them together was expected to reduce 
overall construction costs by allowing one contractor to complete both projects concurrently . 
After combining the available funds for both projects, a total of $869,452 is available to complete 
the project. 
 
Three bids were received and opened on June 25, 2026. City staff and the project engineer have 
reviewed the bids and determined that the apparent low bid is respons ive and meets all bid 
requirements. A bid tabulation prepared by the Purch asing Officer and a bid award 
recommendation from Gresham Smith are att ached to this memo. The low bid, which is within 
budget, was submitted by Wilson Construction Group, LLC. in the amount of $571,954.55. This 
bid is $297,497.45 less than the available funding. 
 
Although extensive geotechnical testing has been completed, subsurface conditions cannot be 
fully verified until excavation be gins. Should unforeseen conditions be encountered, promp t 
decisions will be necessary to avoid delays  that could increase the construction costs. Staff 
therefore recommends approval of a $30,000 construction contingency, approximately 5 percent 
of the low bid, to address any unforeseen conditions encountered during construction. Even if the 
full contingency is utilized, total project expenditures will remain approximately $267,500 below 
the total funding available. 
 
Action Item 
Award the contract to Wilson Construction Group, LLC. in the amount of $571,954.55 , and authorize an 
additional $30,000 construction contingency for unforeseen conditions, if necessary.
