The council’s lead item of business on Wednesday will be the award of the contract for the Dam Road roundabout project.
City Construction Project Manager Trystan Hayes’ report to the council asks for approval to authorize City Manager Alan Flora to enter into a contract with Ghilotti Construction for the roundabout project.
Hayes said the city solicited bids for the project beginning on March 13, ultimately receiving three that were opened on May 7.
Ghilotti Construction submitted the lowest bid, $2,698,550.69, followed by Granite Construction, $2,869,342, and Argonaut Constructors, $3,107,025.50, Hayes said.
“The City would like to award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Ghilotti Construction,” Hayes wrote.
Along with the bid amount, staff is asking for Flora to be able to approve up to 10% for additional unforeseen contract amendments.
In other business, the council will consider adopting memoranda of understanding with three employee groups: the Clearlake Municipal Employees Association, the Clearlake Police Officer Association and the Clearlake Middle Management Association.
If approved, the agreements will be in effect from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027.
