Valley County sets new RFP deadline for Fairgrounds Event Center: April 14
Summary
County commissioners voted to extend the request-for-proposals deadline for the Fairgrounds Event Center to April 14 and to open proposals April 21 after staff said a newspaper publication error created a shortened response window.
Valley County commissioners voted March 10 to extend the request-for-proposals (RFP) deadline for the Fairgrounds Event Center to April 14 and to open received proposals on April 21 after staff reported a publication timing issue limited the original response window.
A county staff member said an RFP had not been published in the newspaper on schedule because the paper was closed for a holiday, creating a short window for applicants. Staff recommended expanding the submission period to allow additional proposals and to notify the one firm that had already applied that it could revise its proposal.
A commissioner moved that the county "expand the dates for the request for proposals on the Fairgrounds Event Center to April 14" with proposals due April 14 and to open them on April 21. The motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board instructed county staff to republish the RFP in the newspaper and to notify the applicant already received of the extension.
Commissioners said they wanted to see more than one application before making a selection. The motion passed by voice vote; the clerk recorded the action and confirmed agenda availability for both April 14 and April 21 so the matter can return to the board on those dates.
No details about anticipated award criteria, contract terms, or budget were provided in the meeting segment; staff said the extension is to secure additional proposals and is intended to preserve a fair procurement process.
