ORONO CITY COUNCIL MEETING
Tuesday,March 19,2019
7:00 o'clock p.m.
Staff is recommending that both Parts A and B be awarded to GMH Construction in the amount of
$1,201,238.25.
Funding for the project will come from a combination of the Pavement Management Fund,the
Stormwater Fund, and Sewer Fund. Currently the Pavement Management Fund has$1,081,095.92 based
on current estimates,which results in approximately a$100,000 shortfall. That shortfall is anticipated to
be made up either through the General Fund or a short-term interfund loan.
Walsh stated the good news is the City is projecting a significant amount of project revenue in 2019 as
well as $534,000 for 2020 in the Pavement Management Fund.
Crosby moved,Johnson seconded,to award the 2019 Road Improvement Projects to GMH
Construction in the amount of$1,201,238.67,and to approve Bolton & Menk's not-to-exceed fee in
the amount of$185,000 for construction oversight. VOTE: Ayes 4,Nays 0.
