Summary
At a Cole County bid opening, an unnamed county staff member reported a single bid from Acura Controls of Griffin, Wisconsin, with a base bid of $1,000,762.90 and multiple alternates and subcontractors listed; staff said the submission appears complete and will require scope review.
An unnamed county staff member said Acura Controls of Griffin, Wisconsin, submitted the only bid at Cole County’s opening of bids for a security electronics replacement project, with a base bid of $1,000,762.90.
The bid packet includes multiple alternates and service-contract options, subcontractor names, addendums and a bid bond, the staff member said. "The alternates, they're adding on, service contracts. First year would be 79,000 or it'd be second year, 81,700. Alternate 3 is 84,200," the staff member said. Alternate 4 was listed at $86,700.
The staff member said the bid shows two addendums dated 11/8 and 11/13 and named subcontractors Midmo Telecom and Security for an ESC role and Meyer Electric for EC work. Jason Lowey’s signature appears on the submission. "I do have a bid bond. They have 2 addendums listed, which is the 2 that 11 8 and 11 13," the staff member said. The packet also includes a federal identification number and a seal; "so bid appears to be complete," the staff member said.
The bid documents include a voluntary add alternate listed as $61,700 to "provide access communication video veil system in lieu of handwall" (language as stated in the bid materials). The vendor included a summary scope of work that county staff said will need further review to confirm that the submission covers the project requirements.
County officials did not announce a decision or award at the bid opening. Staff indicated the next step is to sort through the scope-of-work summary and related documents to verify completeness and compliance; no timeline for award was specified.
Details not specified in the bid-opening remarks include the project site, total project budget or funding source and the county’s schedule for evaluating and awarding the contract.
