March 6, 2026 Mr. Jason Keding Town of Boston 8500 Boston State Road Boston, New York 14025 Re: Recommendation of Award for Utility Modifications – Holiday Lights LaBella Project No. 2254746 Dear Mr. Keding: On March 5, 2026, bids were received for the above referenced project from the following contractors: Base Bid Plus Allowance(s) 1. Loudon Building Co. $140,500.00 2. IPL $151,200.00 3. State Group $172,500.00 Their bids have been reviewed, and Loudon Building Co. has been confirmed as the low bidder at a cost of $140,500.00. This pricing is in line with the Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Cost, and we believe the bid is reasonable and represents the market value of the work. Loudon Building Co. submitted the required documentation for this bid, including a bid bond. We contacted Brice Reed, Owner and Vice President of Loudon Building Company on 03/06/2026 to review project scope. Loudon Building Company included the appropriate permitting & safety considerations, prevailing wage, contingency allowance, technical product specifications, and scope items in their bid. Loudon Building Company has demonstrated, to our satisfaction, an understanding of the project scope as shown in the contract documents. Brice did mention that he went out to all the pole locations and based on his observation he thought a few of the locations might not have enough wiring remaining from the existing tap, the proper way would be to add those locations as additional taps by NYSEG. This would result in slightly higher fees from NYSEG than planned, but minor and well within the contingency. Based on the above, we recommend awarding the Town of Boston – Utility Modification – Holiday Lights project in the amount of one hundred and forty thousand, five hundred dollars and zero cents ($140,500.00) to Loudon Building Co.
