Cowlitz County commissioners opened eight bids Wednesday for improvements to the county's total wastewater treatment plant; the offers ranged from $1,492,328.90 to $2,111,113.86.
The county clerk read each proposal aloud during the meeting. "We are having a bid opening for the total wastewater treatment plant improvements. Looks like we have 8 bids," the clerk said.

A bid opening is a procedural step that records who offered to perform the work and at what price; the county did not award the contract during the meeting. Commissioners and staff indicated the process will move next to review and verify the bids for completeness and compliance with the project requirements before any recommendation or award is made.
No further details about the project scope, schedule, or procurement timeline were announced at the meeting. The clerk concluded the bid reading and the board proceeded to other public works and facilities agenda items.
