Carmel Awards Keystone
Construction Contract
Carmel, Indiana - At a special
Board of Public Works meeting on Friday, April 25, the
contract was awarded for construction of the Keystone Avenue
interchanges at 106th and 126th Streets.
Three contractors submitted bids on April 9, 2008 for the
project’s first phase. City Engineer, Mike McBride, said,
“We are extremely pleased that all of the bids came in less
than projected. This is great news for the citizens of
Carmel.” Milestone Contractors, LP was the low bidder for
both of the interchanges at a combined price of
approximately $29 million.
The bids were fully reviewed by
Carmel’s Engineering Department and by
American
Structurepoint, the project’s design engineer. Clearing
work has begun at 106th Street and Utility Relocations are
expected to begin within the next week. Large scale
construction activities are expected to begin on the two
interchanges in mid May, with substantial completion by the
end of this year.
The 106th and 126th Streets interchanges are part of the
first phase of a three-year project to lower the grade of
Keystone Avenue under five major interchanges along the
five-mile stretch. When completed, the north-south traffic
on Keystone Avenue will be free-flowing with no traffic
lights between 96th Street and 146th Street, and tear-drop
shaped roundabouts will manage the east-west traffic flow.
