Weld County awards chip-seal oil contract, approves emergency steel purchase and greenlights sole-source dust mitigation supply
Summary
At its May 14 meeting the Weld County Board approved a $635,932.12 award for chip-seal oil, authorized an emergency structural-steel contract for $142,397.50 and approved a sole-source supply agreement with EnviroTech Services for dust suppression products totaling $479,500 for 2025; several other solicitations remain under review.
The Weld County Board of Commissioners on May 14 approved multiple procurement actions from the Department of Public Works and Purchasing, including awarding bid B2500018 for chip-seal oil to BlackRock Material and Supply LLC for $635,932.12 and approving an emergency award for structural steel (H pile and stringers) to Construction International for $142,397.50.
Purchasing staff told the board the lowest responsive bid for the ChipSeal oil solicitation was submitted by BlackRock Material and Supply LLC and met specifications. The board approved the award after a motion by Commissioner Maxey and a second by Commissioner James.
Public Works recommended emergency approval for structural steel because national suppliers could only hold pricing for 10 days from the May 12 bid opening; the department asked the board to waive the usual 10-day waiting period “as permitted by Weld County code.” The board approved the emergency award to Construction International and waived the waiting period.
The board also approved a sole-source supply agreement with EnviroTech Services LLC to purchase RoadSaver and BaseBid dust mitigation products for gravel roads. Purchasing staff said EnviroTech is the only supplier for those proprietary products and cited Weld County code sections allowing sole-source purchases. The county approved a not-to-exceed total of $479,500 for 2025 (RoadSaver/Durabland: 330,000 gallons, $330,000; BaseBid: 130,000 gallons, $149,500).
Several other solicitations were presented with no award: B2500064 (concrete supply) was rejected due to lack of bids; responses to B2500047 (seven vendors) and B2500059 (ACFR publishing software, five vendors) are under department review with recommendations expected on upcoming board dates; culvert supply (two vendors) and wash rock (three vendors) were similarly noted for later action.
Purchasing staff who presented the items advised the board on specifications, supplier responsiveness and timelines. The board approved the listed awards and rejections by voice vote; record shows motions were moved and seconded and approved during the meeting.
