Summary
At the letting, county staff read three bids for timber‑pile repairs (Letting 24‑00871‑00BR) and the board awarded the contract to Deconstructions, the low bidder, following a motion and a voice vote.
The county awarded a contract for timber‑pile repairs (Letting 24‑00871‑00BR) to the low bidder, Deconstructions, for $174,230 after staff read three bids and recommended the lowest responsive bid.
At the letting, county staff read bid results: Deconstructions submitted a low bid of $174,230; Gillen Construction LLC bid $175,153; and Toby’s Construction bid $289,578. County Highway Department staff recommended awarding to Deconstructions because its bid was the lowest and the bidder had the required paperwork, including a bid bond.
“...the first bidder is Deconstructions. They have all the appropriate paperwork ... and a total price of $174,230 even,” the staff member read aloud during the meeting. The staff member confirmed Gillen Construction LLC and Toby’s Construction also submitted bids with bid bonds and paperwork.
A board member moved to award the project to Deconstructions at $174,230. The motion carried on a voice vote; the transcript records a voice “Aye” and the chair indicated the motion carried. The meeting record did not include a roll‑call tally or recorded individual yes/no votes.
Staff noted Toby’s Construction’s higher bid was well above the engineer’s estimate and that the low bid was “underneath the engineer’s estimate.” Staff recommended award and proceeded with the motion.
Ending: The contract award was finalized at the meeting by voice vote; staff and contractors will proceed with scheduling and work authorization under the county’s standard contracting process.
