County receives single bid for Pot County I‑beam bridge materials; engineer to return with recommendation
Summary
The county received one apparent bid — $197,401.86 from Holden Enterprises — for bridge materials on the Pot County I‑beam bridge project; county crews will construct the bridge and staff said they will verify numbers and return with a recommendation.
County interim engineering staff reported that one bid was received for bridge materials on a Pottawatomie County bridge project and described the proposal as the apparent low (and only) bid. The county’s interim engineer said Holden Enterprises submitted an apparent bid of $197,401.86 for materials; the bid included a $2,500 bid guarantee.
Staff said county crews will construct the bridge and described the structure as an I‑beam bridge with a concrete deck. The interim county engineer and project manager noted five contractors had been solicited to bid; only one response was received. Staff said the bid will be reviewed in detail and they will return with a recommendation to the board.
Board members and staff discussed the public posting process and local contractors who may supply beams; staff noted the Department of Transportation also advertises suppliers and that interested manufacturers have the opportunity to see the solicitation. No formal award or contract was approved at the meeting; staff said they will report back to the board after reviewing the figures.
Ending: Staff will verify bid numbers, confirm compliance with posting and bonding requirements, and present a recommendation to the board at a subsequent meeting.
