Paducah's city commissioners accepted bids Tuesday for the the city hall renovation project and for phase five of the Greenway Trail.

The board approved an ordinance accepting the modified base bid from A&K Construction in the amount of $4,293,781 for the City Hall Phase I Renovation Project.  The bids for the project were opened November 30 with three contractors submitting bids.  A&K submitted a bid of $4,087,400.

City Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  Because the proposed window manufacturer listed in A&K’s bid does not meet the Kentucky Heritage Council’s requirements, A&K had to modify its bid as allowed in the bid specifications to switch to a window manufacturer approved by the Heritage Council.

The city will continue to work with the Heritage Council to determine if A&K’s original window manufacturer can be used, which would decrease the bid back to the original amount.Even with the increase in the base bid from $4,087,400 to $4,293,781, A&K remains the lowest evaluated bidder.  The Phase I project includes concrete repairs and replacement, steel beam stabilization of roof cantilevers, roofing membrane and skylight replacement, exterior window and door replacement, and the replacement of HVAC source equipment.

The commissioners also approved an ordinance for a $45,900 contract with Bacon, Farmer, Workman Engineering & Testing, Inc. for engineering and design services related to Phase V of the Greenway Trail, which will provide a facelift for Schultz Park and extend the trail from the Farmer’s Market area to Jefferson Street.  This phase also includes landscaping and seating.  The city has $403,156 in grant funding for the project.

In other meeting business, the board heard details of two audits. The first presentation was made by Barkley Regional Airport Manger Richard Roof, who gave details of the airport's annual audit. He mentioned several projects underway at the airport including an update to the Airport Master Plan, replacement of various signage and the repaving of half of the taxiways.

The second presentation was from Kemper CPA Auditor David Hampton, who shared information about the city's audit from the fiscal year ending on June 30, 2017.  He also said the city's audit is a clean, unmodified opinion and there are no instances of non-compliance with the city's federally funded programs. The public has access to the audit at www.paducahky.gov/documents.

The commission also heard from Interim City Manager Mark Thompson the first recycling pick up was held Monday, with 150 households participating.  He said there are currently 580 residents signed up for curbside recycling and he expects there will be more added later.  The next recycling day will be Monday, Feb. 5 for the Tuesday-Wednesday crew.
