County opens bids for Durham Estates storm-seal; lowest reported base bid $152,770
Summary
The engineering department opened bids for the Durham Estates storm-seal project; multiple contractors submitted bids and acknowledged addendums. The lowest base bid reported in the meeting was $152,770; the engineer will review bids and issue recommendations.
The county's engineering department opened and read bids for the Durham Estates storm-seal project during the commissioners' meeting.
Representatives for multiple contractors acknowledged addendums and presented base bids and alternates. Bids read into the record included: Taylor Excavating (base bid read unclearly in the transcript), Fence Excavating and Demolition (base $259,924, alternate 1 $41,160), Benson Contracting (base $231,442, alternate 1 $36,162), Joe and Joe Contracting (base $219,962, alternate 1 $36,750), D Hills Excavating (base $178,763, alternate 1 $32,487), Compliant Excavating (base $349,195.91, alternate 1 $27,196), and an additional bidder whose base bid was reported as $152,770 (bidder name unclear in the transcript). One presenter noted that bid bonds or cashier's checks were included where required and that some bidders acknowledged the two addendums.
"The engineer's office reviews bids and submit the recommendations at the earliest convenience," the engineering presenter told commissioners. The county will evaluate the bids for completeness, verify bonds and references, and issue a recommendation to the commissioners.
Why it matters: the project will repair or seal storm infrastructure in Durham Estates; the selected contractor will carry out public-works work funded by the county. The bid-opening process initiates formal review and award steps.
Next steps: engineering staff will review the bids, confirm compliance, and return a recommendation for award. The meeting record contains some garbled numeric readings in the transcript; engineering documents and the official bid tabulation should be consulted for the authoritative numbers and bidder names.
