YOUNGSTOWN

A Youngstown company submitted the apparent lowest proposal for a major improvement project on Lincoln Avenue, which runs through the Youngstown State University campus.

Parella-Pannunzio Inc. proposed doing the project for $1,387,536.67. That was the lowest amount among six proposals opened Friday by city officials for the work.

The next-lowest apparent bidder was Thomas Pallotta & Sons of Youngstown, at $1,425,655.29.

After a review of the proposals, the city’s board of control will approve a contract as early as next week, said Kedar Bhide, construction engineer with the city’s public works department.

The city’s estimate was $1,661,000.
