County opens hot-mix bids for road division; two identical low bids create tie
Summary
Butte-Silver Bow opened bids for hot-mix asphalt for the Roads Division; Jeffrey Contracting submitted the high bid at $84.50/ton while Hollow Contracting and Montana Materials each bid $74/ton, creating a low-bid tie; the council referred the matter to Public Works.
The Butte-Silver Bow Council opened three bids for hot-mix asphalt for the county Roads Division and referred the submission to the Public Works Department for award review. The bids were read publicly: Jeffrey Contracting of Butte bid $84.50 per ton (total $1,267,500); Hollow Contracting of Butte bid $74 per ton (total $1,110,000); and Montana Materials & Construction bid $74 per ton (total $1,110,000).
The county attorney noted each bid included a 10% bid bond. Mr. Gleason presented the bids to the council. With identical low bids from Hollow Contracting and Montana Materials, the clerk and public works staff will review the proposals and procurement rules to determine next steps. The council voted 10-0 to refer communication number 2025-67 to the Public Works Department for action.
No award was made at the meeting; the referral to Public Works begins the procurement review and award process under county purchasing rules.
