County Drainage Board opens sole reconstruction bid and authorizes commissioner to sign after review
Summary
Clinton County Drainage Board opened a sole reconstruction bid from Lads AG service and voted to allow a commissioner to sign the contract after review with the surveyor; the county attorney will verify bid details before execution.
Speaker 1 opened the Clinton County Drainage Board meeting and turned documents to the county attorney to open reconstruction bids. Speaker 3, identified in the meeting as the county attorney, announced there was a single bid for the project; when the amount was read aloud the transcript records two close but different figures ($270,123.60 and $273,123.60). Speaker 3 also stated the solicitation "was advertised according to statute."
After discussion about the bidder's on‑file documentation, Speaker 1 moved that the present commissioner be authorized to sign the contract on the board's behalf after a review with the surveyor; Speaker 4 seconded. The board recorded the result as "Motion carries 3 0."
The board did not finalize contract execution at the meeting. Speaker 3 requested the board allow the commissioner to sign following a staff review of bonding and paperwork; Speaker 3 said contractor Mister Ladd has bonding and other documents "on file with us." The county will reconcile the discrepancy in the bid amount and confirm the bid materials before any signature is recorded.
