COLUMBUS, Ind. — The Columbus Board of Public Works and Safety has formally documented a modified cost bid for an elevator modernization project at the United Way of Bartholomew County facility.
The project, which relies on federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding, was originally approved in July with a $99,979 cap for the City's contribution.
After receiving only one bid of around $137,000, city officials worked with the contractor to clarify federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements and refine the scope of work, resulting in a revised quote of $119,500.
Under the updated terms presented by Darian Kolliger of the Administrative Resources association (ARa) and city representative Jake Sykes, the city's CDBG funding amount will remain unchanged at $99,979. The United Way of Bartholomew County has agreed to absorb the remaining $19,530 to complete the elevator upgrades at 748 Franklin Street.
The Board voted unanimously to approve and acknowledge the updated documentation and authorize any necessary agreements to keep the project on track.
