WABASH, Ind. – The Wabash Board of Public Works and Safety received, and tabled, two bids for the sanitary sewer extension work on Glenn Avenue and Sivey Street.
Brainard Excavating bid $45,540.50 for the project, while Eads & Son bid $37,289.05.
The board took the bids under advisement, giving Wasterwater Superintendent Bob Gray and the city’s engineering firm, United Consulting, a chance to review them.
In another matter, Brainard Excavating submitted the lone bid of $124,497.23 for the Miami Street and Salamonie Lane storm sewer project.
The work, Gray reminded the board, is in conjunction with the Parkview Wabash Hospital retention pond, Wabash Street sewer project and a proposed housing development in the area.
The board approved the contract.
Gray told the board that in both instances, three bids were solicited, as required. However, contractors are in their busy season and not all had time to submit bids.
