County opens bids for Project 5-2025 asphalt paving; bid amounts recorded
Summary
At the April 15 meeting the board opened bids for Project 5-2025, an asphalt paving package covering multiple county road segments. County engineer Todd Roth read bid amounts and described the package scope; several townships added work by addendum.
County engineer Todd Roth opened bids for Project 5-2025, an asphalt paving package, during the Board of County Commissioners' April 15 meeting. Roth read the submitted numbers and described the geographic scope of the package.
The bid-opening record shows Roth announcing, “Total base bid is $1,000,007.07 $5.05 $1.05 $1.05” and later referencing an estimate listed as “2.24699.” Roth told the board the package covers a large portion of P‑50, “from North Of 20, from 7 East to 576, and then . . . coming out of Stryker, to the county line,” and said the first two large portions were “about 3 each” (miles) while other townships piggybacked and added side roads.
Roth said the most recent estimate reflected addendum 1 because “a couple of townships decided to add on after we'd submitted the original proposal.” He closed the bid opening with a short acknowledgement to attendees before the board recessed.
The transcript does not record a formal award or acceptance of any bid at the meeting; no motion to award Project 5-2025 appears in the public record excerpt. Commissioners and staff discussed the bid totals and packet details but did not take a vote to award the contract during the session.
Why this matters: Project 5-2025 packages multiple county road segments into a single paving solicitation, which can affect county costs and schedules for road maintenance across several townships. The meeting record shows costs and an updated estimate after an addendum, but does not show contract approval or a next-step timetable.
Additional context: Roth said Bridgewater Township and the center township added work that was piggybacked onto the county package. Staff referenced a numeric estimate “4000002246991” tied to addendum 1; the meeting record presents those figures as read into the public record without further breakdown.
No formal board action to award the contract is recorded in the transcript provided; the bid-opening proceedings ended with the board adjourning the item and the meeting moving on.
