Board awards bid for concrete pad at new public works site to Yance Concrete LLC
Summary
Greenlee County awarded a $143,750 plus tax contract to Yance Concrete LLC to build a 6-inch reinforced concrete pad for a new public works metal building; only one bid was received and the board approved the award.
County Engineer Reed Larson told the board that the project site has an excess of millings and that subcontractors are lined up to prepare the pad site. The board was informed that only one bid was received for the concrete pad but that the bidder was a firm familiar to the county and had constructed the adjacent shop pad.
Larson said the bid amount produced "sticker shock" when opened but that a market check showed the submitted per-square-foot price for a 6‑inch reinforced concrete slab fell within normal ranges and was toward the low side of published benchmarks. He told the board the invitation to bid had been posted on the county website and published in the newspaper.
A motion to award the contract to Yance Concrete LLC in the amount of $143,750 plus tax was moved and seconded; the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Why it matters: the awarded contract advances the construction of a new public works facility and commits county funds to a specific contractor; procurement received a single bid and the board discussed market comparators and the vendor's local experience.
What happens next: county staff will finalize the contract including tax and proceed with construction scheduling at the public works site.
