Council staff presented three estimates: $3,200 from Godfrey, $3,500 from a second bidder and $37,325 from TRS Construction LLC. The council said the working group recommended Godfrey as the best option. "Their is, Clean Ditch is out ... $3,200," the presiding official summarized when presenting the estimates. The contract language discussed included cleaning ditches, repairing check dams, reshaping areas to ensure proper flow and spreading seed and straw in repaired areas.
A motion to accept Godfrey Grading for the drainage work carried a second and the council approved it by voice vote. The council instructed staff to verify the contractor and indicated the work must be completed within the contracting terms; no detailed timeline or payment schedule was specified in the meeting record.
