County moves to award Phase 5 landfill expansion contract after bid tabulation
Summary
Staff presented a plan to expand the county construction-and-demolition landfill by about 2 acres (approx. 60,000 cubic yards of dirt), providing roughly four years of airspace; bids were opened and the board heard a motion to suspend rules and approve a contract between Cabarrus County and Ike's Construction Incorporated, subject to county attorney review.
County staff presented the construction-and-demolition landfill Phase 5 expansion project at the work session and asked the board to approve an immediate award so construction can begin quickly to address decreasing airspace.
Staff said the expansion is roughly 2 acres and will require about 60,000 cubic yards of dirt; the resulting expansion should provide at least four years of additional airspace. A formal bid was initiated Nov. 6 and bids were opened Nov. 25. The transcript’s bid tabulation commentary noted that "with the exception of that first bid, they were fairly close with Dykes Construction being the low bidder."
Because of the urgency created by rapidly decreasing airspace, staff requested a motion to suspend the rules of procedure and a motion to approve a contract between Cabarrus County and Ike's Construction Incorporated and to authorize the county manager to execute the contract on behalf of Cabarrus County, subject to county attorney review. A commissioner moved to suspend the rules and then moved to approve the contract; the motion was seconded and taken for action on the work session floor.
The public record provided the bid-opening details and the board action request; the work session did not include a detailed readout of a final vote tally on the award in the transcript; staff indicated the landfill enterprise fund will cover the expansion costs as approved in the FY26 capital improvement plan.
