Drainage board reviews bids for Sims Rogers ditch cleanout and takes proposals under advisement
Summary
The board reviewed three bids to clean about 5,200 feet of the Sims Rogers open ditch on the South County Line and moved to take proposals under advisement so staff can select and notify a contractor.
The Clinton County Drainage Board reviewed proposals to clean out the Sims Rogers open ditch, a roughly 5,200-foot stretch near the South County Line and County Road 200 East, and voted to take the bids under advisement.
Speaker 6 described the work and noted the county requested proposals to have the ditch cleaned this winter before spring planting. Speaker 1 listed three bids received: Johnson's (about 15003.50), Russell Trucking (21,200), and an excavating bid at 19,820. The board discussed how they had handled similar procurements in the past and agreed to take the three proposals under advisement so staff could select and notify the contractor.
Speaker 1 asked whether taking the bids under advisement would allow staff to select and notify a contractor; Speaker 6 confirmed that it would. The motion to take the bids under advisement carried, and staff were authorized to proceed with contractor notification and scheduling of the cleanout work.
No contract award was recorded in the meeting minutes; board members deferred selection to staff action under the advisement authorization.
