Board accepts low quote to haul dried sludge to landfill; officials note only two bids
Summary
The board accepted a low-quote contract to haul dried sludge to the county landfill and authorized the chair to sign the contract; staff and commissioners noted only two quotes were received and identified a typical bidder (Yellow Rose) who did not submit a bid this time.
Staff presented a low-quote award to haul dried sludge to the county landfill and asked the board to authorize the chair to sign the contract. The transcript lists a vendor and pricing line items in the minutes (hourly truck rate $170, loading equipment $300 per hour, mobilization lump sum $3,000) and staff asked for authorization to sign.
Commissioners asked why only two quotes were received. Staff said they believed two vendors submitted bids and that a usual bidder, identified in discussion as Yellow Rose, did not submit a bid this time. Staff noted the county's public bid-opening process is open to the public; one county official explained, “It's open to the public... that's why we don't accept late bids.”
A roll call was taken for items connected to Resource Recovery Center operations and the board recorded affirmative responses. The agenda lists this item as 25Slash06Dash055; the board authorized proceeding with the low-quote contract as presented and delegated signature authority to the board chair.
