Montezuma County staff opened bids Friday, Sept. 5, 2025, for a front‑end loader for the Montezuma County Landfill, reading seven proposals with amounts from $187,900 to $286,107.81.
The bid opening, read aloud during the meeting, listed the following bidders and offered amounts: 4 Rivers Equipment — $286,107.81; Arnold Machinery — $251,604.34; Century Equipment — $239,900; Power Equipment Company — $192,348; Power Motive Corp. — $285,472.29; Ready Dig — $195,000; a bidder recorded in the transcript as “These equipment” — $187,900; and Wagner Equipment — $214,417.64. The lowest bid recorded in the transcript was $187,900; the transcript does not clarify whether the bidder labeled “These equipment” is an exact legal name or a transcription error.
The transcript records the bids being read and the opening concluded; it does not record a decision to award the contract, any motions, or a vote. No timeline for bid evaluation or contract award was provided in the recorded remarks.
Because the transcript only captures the bid amounts read aloud, details commonly disclosed in later procurement steps — such as bid bond compliance, specification compliance, staff recommendations, or contract terms — were not recorded and are not specified in the transcript.
