The following bids were received:

Contractor	Base Bid
Yellowstone Electric Co.	$281,252.24

While there was only one bid, it was determined by staff to be representative of the work that is included.  The project was budgeted in FY20 using Arterial Construction funds. The amount budgeted was $400,000.  This bid was lower than the budget because there was less work that had to be done at the intersection than originally anticipated. The remaining budget will be used for other signal work planned for this year. 
 
 

Staff recommends the City Council award a contract for W.O. 20-09, 24th St. W. & Overland Ave. Traffic Signal Improvements, to Yellowstone Electric Co. in the amount of $281,252.24.
