Woods County meeting records three contractor bids; staff notes budget rise from last year

A staff member at a Woods County meeting reported that three contractor bids were received for an unspecified county project and said the county's figure has increased from $185,963 last year by $45,970.

The staff member told the meeting that one bid was $113,908.80 and another was $59,500. The transcript also names Fisher Welding and Construction as a bidder but does not specify Fisher's bid amount.

Why it matters: County officials reviewing bids are considering contractor offers against a higher current figure compared with last year, which could affect procurement decisions and project budgeting. The transcript does not record any formal motion, vote or contract award on the item.

Details from the meeting: the staff member said last year's figure was $185,963 and that the county's figure increased by $45,970. The transcript lists the three bids only by the amounts above and by one bidder name; it does not identify the project, include a full bidder list with company names for every amount, or record a decision on which bid—if any—will be accepted.

The record in the provided transcript segment ends after the bid amounts were read; no ensuing discussion, direction to staff, or formal action appears in the excerpt.

Next steps: The transcript does not state any next meeting date, award decision, or further instructions. Any procurement decision or contract award is not recorded in the supplied excerpt.
