The ERQ Transportation Commission on Sept. 10 voted to award Project 1 — reconstruction and concrete surfacing of city streets in Lemon — to Holstein Excavating for $3,625,574.05. The commission approved the award after staff recommended acceptance of the low bid.
Becky Hoffman of the Office of Project Development told commissioners the Sept. 2 letting received seven bids and that "the low bids totaled 4,510,000, which is 640,000 or 12.4% below the engineers estimate of 5,150,000." Hoffman said the project had been re‑designed since an earlier, unsuccessful letting in October 2025 to add work and encourage more bidders. The commission made and seconded a motion to approve the award and, following a roll‑call vote, the motion carried.
