Commissioners approve fence, culvert and equipment quotes; motor‑grader bids sent for staff review
Summary
The board accepted a single bid to replace about 1.5 miles of county fence, awarded culvert and cutting‑edge quotes, and opened two bids for a 2025 motor grader for comparison; staff will verify motor‑grader specs and return recommendations on August 11.
The Fallon County Board approved several procurement items related to roads and public works and received two bids for a new motor grader.
For Upper Lake fence replacement, staff read a single quote from Ross McCain to remove the old fence and install new four‑wire fencing for roughly 1.5 miles (components and mobilization included). A commissioner moved to accept the quote and the motion carried; the contractor provided a completion target of November 1.
The board also approved a True North quote of $27,738 to stock replacement culverts and an RDO quote of $11,007.53 for carbide tips and stinger bits.
Road staff opened two sealed bids for a 2025 motor grader: one from RDO Equipment (including trade‑in values and buyback options) and one from Tractor & Equipment of Billings. Commissioners directed staff to compare specifications with the county’s required grader specs (Mitch to assist) and scheduled the award discussion for the August 11 agenda.
No contested bid protests were reported at the opening. Commissioners emphasized matching specifications and delivery timelines when comparing bidders, and staff will confirm delivery dates and option pricing before making an award.
