County approves local bid for spray chemicals; staff to confirm state-contract pricing
Summary
Pipestone County commissioners approved awarding a spray-chemical purchase to low bidder Edgerton Ag for $14,971.25, with staff instructed to verify whether state contract pricing through Nutrien applies before finalizing.
Pipestone County commissioners voted May 27 to accept the low bid from Edgerton Ag to supply spray chemicals, at a bid price of $14,971.25, subject to staff confirmation whether state contract pricing from Nutrien would produce a lower price.
Highway Engineer Nick Bergman said four suppliers were solicited and two submitted bids; the low bid was Edgerton Ag at $14,971.25, and he noted an additional chemical tax of roughly 0.82 percent could apply. Commissioner Dan asked staff to check whether state contract pricing through Nutrien might reduce the county’s cost; Bergman agreed to confirm and, if Nutrien’s state contract price were lower, to use the lower price or rebid as necessary.
After discussion the board voted to approve the purchase award to Edgerton Ag, with the understanding staff would verify and confirm state-contract pricing and choose the lowest compliant source.
