Valley County awards Unit 6 East fuel‑reduction contract to McCall Forestry Solution
Summary
After reading multiple bids for Unit 6 East fuel‑reduction work, the board awarded the contract to McCall Forestry Solution at $1,200 per acre ($20,400) and discussed new inspection requirements for first‑time contractors.
Valley County opened bids and awarded the Unit 6 East fuel‑reduction contract Nov. 10.
Speaker 8 opened bids for the Unit 6 East brush/mulching unit. Bids read into the record included: Jeffrey Miller Excavating ($2,175/acre, ~17 acres; $36,975), Rad Mulching and Fire Reduction ($1,620/acre; $27,540), Specialized Landworks ($1,899/acre; $32,283), McCall Forestry Solution ($1,200/acre; $20,400), Baron Loper Custom Works ($2,400/acre; $40,800), D and D Tree and Land Management ($2,300/acre; $39,100), and Silver Creek brush (figure read into record; $39,185). Speaker 3 moved to award the bid to McCall Forestry Solution at $1,200 per acre ($20,400) and the board approved the motion by voice vote.
Speaker 8 described an inspection process for new contractors: a county inspection and an inspection form with time expectations on mulching to ensure work meets county standards, particularly for contractors bidding county work for the first time.
What happens next: the county will proceed with standard contracting steps and perform the planned site inspections on the awarded unit and on first‑time contractors according to the new inspection form.
