Bethel Police Station bid components come in over budget

Some bids for the new Police Station in Bethel have come back over estimated costs.  The Newstimes reports that bids bids for plumbing and mechanical work were higher than expected, as was the air-handling unit required for the firing range.  Bethel budgeted $25,000 for that piece of equipment based off of earlier estimates, but the bid was $436,000.  Bids for steel, masonry and site work reportedly came in under the estimated cost.  Ground was broken in May, so the project is still in the early phase and officials say it could be brought back within budget through adjustments.  The $13.5 million, 26,000-square-foot project on Judd Avenue is slated to be finished in June.
