The Hammond Board of Public Safety opened quotes for modifications to the median on Florida Avenue and voted to refer the three bids to the city consultant for review and recommendation.
The board heard that the solicitation was processed "per the Indiana statute" and that the work was expected to be under $150,000. The quoted amounts read into the record were $53,028.32 from Milestone Contractors, $51,246.20 from J and J Newell Contractors, and $52,659.17 from H3 Contracting Concrete Incorporated.
Board members then moved and seconded a motion "to refer the matter to the consultant for review and recommendation," and the motion passed with members responding "aye." No contract award or further action was taken at the meeting; the consultant review was requested before any award decision.
The referrals and quoted amounts were recorded for the project file and will be returned to the board with the consultant's recommendation.
