The TOBIE Phase 2 project at Eagle Bay took another step forward on Tuesday with the Town of Webb Board authorizing Supervisor Ted Riehle to enter into contracts with contractors selected as a result of a recent bidding opportunity.
The project had been divided into four separate contracts.
The general contract will go to RE Alexander Company, Incorporated, which was the low bidder at $484,240.
The electrical contract was awarded to SC Spencer Electrical, Incorporated, for $46,700.
The two remaining contracts were awarded to Superior Plumbing and Heating for $48,950 and $33,200, respectively.
Once Riehle signs the award package, it will be forwarded to the New York State Department of Transportation (DOT) for their review and approval, Riehle said.
Councilman Mike Ross indicated that he was pleased that the bids are on the verge of being awarded.
He said it amounted to a big step toward realizing TOBIE in Eagle Bay as a finished project.
Supervisor Riehle said DOT approval should be quick, maybe in time for board review at its October meeting.
That would clear the way for final approval by the town board, he said.
Does the project have hope for this year?, Councilwoman Moore asked Supervisor Riehle.
