Summary
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners opened bids May 29 for MRWCR225, an Allen Creek landslide repair project. One bid from Beaver Excavating totaled $195,136.17 against an engineer's estimate of $240,000; commissioners moved to hold the bid for further review.
The Morrow County Board of Commissioners opened bidding for MRWCR225, the Allen Creek landslide repair, during its May 29 regular session. An attending representative announced one bid from the Beaver Excavating Company for $195,136.17, compared with the county engineer's estimate of $240,000.
The board moved and seconded a motion to hold the submitted bid for review, a procedural step that preserves the county’s opportunity to examine compliance with specifications, bonding and funding before awarding a contract. A roll call recorded affirmative votes to hold the bid and continue review.
County staff thanked the bidder for attending the opening and said the procurement process would proceed with the customary administrative review. No award or contractor selection was made at the meeting; commissioners deferred final action pending staff analysis and any required documentation checks.
Next steps: county engineering staff will review the bid documentation and present a recommendation at a future meeting or by staff-level procurement action, according to the board’s motion to hold for review.
