The City of Shelbyville has a contractor in place for two street projects following the approval of bids this week. 

The Shelbyville Board of Public Works and Safety took bids under advisement last week and approved them in a vote earlier this week.

For Phase 2 of West Franklin Street reconstruction, Midwest Paving was awarded the project at $420, 784.50.

For reconstruction of Hodell and Prospect Streets, Midwest Paving was again low bid at $193,567.80  

City engineer Matt House noted the final dollar figures included undistributed quantities. House says these are items that aren't included in the base bid, but may be needed later.  The city usually awards the project based on the base bid alone, and then uses the undistributed quantities in case , for example, they tear up the road and find they need additional stone.

Midwest’s base bids were $413,784.50 and $175,967.80.
