Council awards 2050 South street contract to local bidder under local preference match
Summary
After reviewing six bids and procurement code on local preference, the council awarded construction of 2050 South (alternate A, PVC pipe) to Interstate Rock, which exercised its right to match the low outside bid under the city’s 5% local preference rule.
Hurricane — The council awarded the construction contract for 2050 South street improvements to Interstate Rock under the city’s local preference policy after staff verified a low outside bid and a local second‑place bidder within 5% of that low bid.
Staff received six bids for the project with three pipe alternatives. The low bid (Trap Construction, out of Sandy) totaled approximately $161,485 (alternate pricing noted); Interstate Rock, a local contractor, was within the city’s 5% local preference threshold and requested the right to match the low bid. City procurement counsel (Dayton) reviewed the municipal code and said local vendors within 5% have the option to match the low bid when permitted by procurement rules and if they hold the required city business license.
Council moved to award the contract to Interstate Rock using Alternate A (PVC with improved joints) contingent on a match of the low bid; the motion was seconded and passed on a roll‑call vote with councilmembers recorded in favor.
What’s next: Staff will complete award paperwork, issue a construction notice to proceed after the contract is finalized and prepare a budget amendment to cover the work, as the fund balance will require adjustment.
