The Finance Administration Committee moved to forward to full council a resolution to accept the low bid and issue a purchase order to Wilkins Electric LLC for the Huntington Avenue lighting project, with funding from the FY2026 Capital Improvement budget.
A resident noted the low bid was roughly $100,000 lower than competing bids. A staff member (S10) said he had no concerns and noted Wilkins Electric had completed the Crest Street project and was familiar with the work. "Wilkins Electric did the Crest Street project. He knows what he's getting into and I don't have any concerns about his bid," Staff (S10) said.
The committee forwarded the resolution for council action; the meeting transcript does not include a committee vote tally.
