City accepts low bid for Edgewater culvert repair; MJ Underground to proceed at $298,680

The Crown Point Board of Public Works and Safety on Feb. 18 accepted a low bid and authorized contract execution for the Edgewater stormwater culvert replacement.

Eric, representing construction review, said American StructurePoint reviewed five bids and recommended MJ Underground as the low, responsive bidder at $298,680. The board moved to accept the low bid, issue a notice to proceed and authorize the mayor to sign the contract; the motion carried by voice vote.

Staff noted the repair will fully replace the culvert along Calvert (north of the Edgewater subdivision) and that the project previously had interim repairs. Funding for roughly 60% of the project was noted as coming from the local urban-based development commission, per staff remarks.

The board approved the award and directed staff to proceed with contractual authorization and project execution. A start date was not given in the meeting record.
