City of Tracy awards Phase E bid to R&G Construction of Marshall
The City of Tracy moved forward with the Phase E project at its regular council meeting Monday night.
The council passed resolution 2026-54 - award bid for the Phase E Improvement project. The bid was awarded to R&G Construction of Marshall, with the low bid of $6,944,266.34, which was well under the original estimate of $11.4 million. The project had nine bidders.
While exact timing and logistics of what streets will be closed when have not been ironed out until a pre-construction meeting, Jordan Ostgaard of Bollig stated that the project more than likely will be starting late summer or early fall. Due to where the street construction will be located, the City will make sure there is access to the pool during the summer season. In addition, Bollig will have someone on-site for the entire project as required by the funding agency.
City Administrator Jeff Carpenter reported that the community center is 90% complete and on budget. He also explained to the council that the City has still not touched the $137,000 that was set aside for the community center.
