Bids for the 2017 Fall Street & Sidewalk Projects were opened during Monday evening’s Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety meeting.
Four companies offered bids on the 29 different projects that were grouped into three separate projects.
Rieth Riley Construction from South Bend bid $1,476, 699.70 while Phend & Brown from Milford submitted a bid of $1,375,406.80 and E & B Paving out of Rochester bid $1,252,167.78. Low bidder for the projects was Walsh & Kelly out of South Bend with a bid of $1,182,729.05.
Plymouth Street Superintendent Jim Marquardt asked the Board of Works to take the bids under advisement for his review and award the project prior to the next meeting to the lowest bidder so the city can get a jump on projects yet this year.
The Board of Works approved his request.
