Madison County opens steel bids for Sanford Waterloof project; no award made
Summary
County staff opened six bids June 5 for steel work on the Sanford Waterloof project (steel bid No. 2505). Bids will be reviewed by county engineers and presented to the full board; no contract was awarded at the opening.
A county staff member opened six bids June 5 for steel work on the Sanford Waterloof project, steel bid No. 2505, and said the county will have engineering staff review the submissions before the full board votes on an award.
"It's 11:01, Thursday, June the fifth, and we are here to do the steel bid opening for the Sanford Waterloof project, steel bid number 2505," a county staff member said at the start of the bid opening. The staff member said the advertisements ran twice in the Madison County Journal and were posted on the Total Procurement Registry.
Why it matters: procurement openings are a required step before a governing body can award a public contract. The bids opened June 5 set the baseline prices the county's engineer will compare against project specifications and procurement rules before recommending a contract award.
County staff read the bids into the record. The bids recorded in the opening were:
- Matthews Development Corporation — received June 5 at 10:00 — $587,900,991 (transcript: "$587,900 991. I'm sorry.")
- Civil Construction and Utilities LLC — received June 5 at 10:50 — $813,100
- Vintage Soul LLC — received June 5 at 10:49 — $461,307
- Griffin Brothers — received June 5 at 10:49 — $767,060
- Dale Construction — received June 5 at 10:49 — $693,700
- (listed as) Oshim / spelled "o h m s h I v" — received June 5 at 10:27 — $789,440
The staff member said county staff will collect the bids, redistribute them to staff and the county engineer, prepare a bid tabulation and "make sure all the requirements are met for each bid." The engineer will contact bidders with any questions, and the bids will be presented to the full board for a vote at a future meeting; no award was made during the opening.
The transcript shows two staff members handled the reading: one read receipt times and bidder names, the other read dollar amounts. Commissioner Dennis Adams and Water Superintendent Ronnie Schubert were identified as present during the opening, but no formal motion, award, or vote occurred at the session recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: staff will complete an engineer review and produce a bid tabulation for the board. The staff member said the board will vote at a future full-board meeting; the precise meeting date for the award was not specified in the transcript.
