Commissioners open bids for Duck Creek Road bridge and Metropark rodeo equipment, refer proposals to staff
Summary
The Board of County Commissioners opened bids Tuesday for work on the Duck Creek Road bridge and for Metropark rodeo equipment and voted to refer all proposals to county staff for review and recommendation.
The Board of County Commissioners opened bids Tuesday for a Duck Creek Road bridge procurement and for Metropark rodeo equipment, then voted to send the proposals to county staff for review and recommendation.
The board publicly opened submissions for a request for qualifications for the Duck Creek Road bridge and for a request for proposals for Metropark rodeo equipment. Commissioners and staff read aloud bidders and locations, including Powder River Rodeo LLC of Riverton, Wyoming; Western Ranch Supply of Billings, Montana (which submitted two separate product bids); High Hog Farm Ranch of Calgary, Alberta; and Powder River Rodeo Equipment of Provo, Utah. County staff confirmed that there was no bid bond on the rodeo equipment submissions.
Why it matters: procurement choices will determine which vendors provide equipment for a county-owned event venue and which contractor will handle the Duck Creek Road bridge work; referring the bids to staff begins the county’s evaluation and recommendation process.
During the opening, a commissioner moved to delay action on the Duck Creek request for qualifications until the next Tuesday meeting after the proposer requested an extension. The board approved that motion. Later, a commissioner moved to refer all Metropark and Duck Creek bids to staff for recommendation; the motion was seconded and approved without recorded objection.
County staff and commissioners identified the full list of bidders on the record. Western Ranch Supply submitted two distinct product bids for the rodeo equipment; the county labeled those as different quote lines. No bid bond was submitted for the rodeo equipment procurements, per a staff exchange recorded during the opening.
The board did not discuss vendor selection during the meeting; staff will return with recommendations at a future meeting. The board then proceeded to other agenda and finance items and adjourned after completing its consent and claims votes.
