Cameron Tross and Stephanie Marsh with BG Consultants joined the Monday, Dec. 8 Eureka City Council meeting via Zoom to review bids for the Memorial Hall window restoration project, which is to be completed through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG).
According to the grant agreement, CDBG will provide funds totaling $282,867 towards the window restoration. Tross told the council that BG Consultants had received two qualified bids for the project. A qualified bid, explained Tross, means that the contractor submitted a completed bid packet, which includes a bid form or proposal, a bid bond that certifies the general contractor is qualified and insured to work in the state, a base bid, and three alternates. In a bid for window restoration, alternates are options for different materials, methods, or expanded scope of work that are priced separately from the base bid. The city can choose to accept or reject these alternates when awarding the contract.
