Bridge safety project bids read; transcript shows inconsistent spellings and numeric readouts
Summary
Officials read bids for the Tanner Bridge Road Safety Improvements (project No. 2023-602-1). Bids ranged roughly from $1.35 million to $6.45 million; transcript includes inconsistent contractor name spellings and a paused numeric readout. Staff said bids will be evaluated.
An unidentified speaker announced and read bids for the Tanner Bridge Road Safety Improvements, project No. 2023-602-1. The speaker read several contractor offers and closed the reading by saying the bids will be evaluated; no award or selection was made at the meeting.
Bids read into the record included Lewis Company (one readout shows $6,446,984.42), E and C Bridal, $2,391,036.81; McGruder/Magruder Construction (inconsistent spelling in the transcript), $2,843,266.70; Mirror Excavating, $1,576,342.79; Don Snyder (listed in the transcript as 'Don Snyder is excavating'), $1,351,226.36; and June/Jean Hale, $2,681,825.
The transcript contains several anomalies while reading the bridge bids: one line includes an isolated "Total bid of 2,000,000" then an immediate pause; elsewhere the same contractor name appears with different spellings (McGruder vs. Magruder) and similar numbers reappear. Those inconsistencies are recorded here rather than corrected; exact award decisions and contract quantities were not part of the transcript.
What happens next: the speaker said staff will evaluate the bids. The transcript contains no motion, vote or formal decision to award a contract.
