Commission sets public hearing on highest bid for Public Works property after receiving four sealed offers
Summary
Ellis County received four sealed bids for its Public Works property and directed staff to publish a notice for an Oct. 1 public hearing to solicit comment on accepting the top bid from Midwestern Pipeworks (highest bid $605,000).
County staff reported that sealed bids were received for the county—s Public Works property; the highest bid was from Midwestern Pipeworks at $605,000. Staff recommended scheduling a public hearing so the commission could solicit public comment before deciding whether to accept the highest offer.
Commissioners directed staff to publish the public-hearing notice and set the hearing at the commission—s Oct. 1 meeting. Staff noted the public notice address would be corrected before publication. County staff said the winning bidder indicated flexibility with a closing date to allow the county time to move Public Works operations once a sale is finalized.
The hearing will provide an opportunity for public comment about whether the county should accept Midwestern Pipeworks' bid; the commission will deliberate after receiving public input and may accept or reject the highest bid following the hearing.
