The Village of Northport approved a bid contract of $14,800 to Kal Excavating to address 4th Street drain modifications permitted by EGLE (the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy).
Dyer noted in his manager’s report that the village received three responses to their Request for Proposal (RFP) from Kal Excavating, Popp Excavating, and Team Elmers. Popp’s project estimate was the most expensive at $25,957, and Team Elmer’s was the second highest bid for $15,400.
The village chose to go with the lowest bidder, Kal, to complete a number of tasks on the drainage ditch including removing the existing culvert on the north side of 4th Street and installing an 18” storm sewer and 48” catch basin. The Kal crew will also restore the disturbed area, patch the asphalt, and import and spread fill sand. To fund the infrastructure improvement project, the village authorized a budget transfer of $15,000 from the Local Streets Fund into the Capital Improvement Fund, leaving a balance of $44,615.
