Peru Town Hall, January 21, 2026 – Town Clerk Christine Crawford opened the one bid received for the Telegraph Road Over Dry Mils Brook Culvert Project. Luck Brother Inc. submitted a bid of $1,852,995.
Supervisor Craig Randall told the Gazette the bid was considerably higher than expected. He commented, “We’re referring it to the C&S Engineering and the board will look for its direction based on C&S’s recommendation.”
The board could conceivably go out to bid a second time, hoping that additional contractors will bid; however, given the long Telegraph Road closure, any further delay could be problematic.
