Single $45,880 bid for Lindell road work prompts documentation and next-month vote
Summary
Officials said only one bid arrived to cover three dirt roads; the bid totals $45,880 and the council will document outreach and place the contract on next month’s agenda for a vote after confirming procurement steps were followed.
The council reviewed a single bid to repair three dirt roads and agreed to document outreach before voting to award the contract next month.
S4 reported that only one bid came in to cover the three-road package and that the bid total is $45,880. Councilors clarified the scope will include base and stabilizer layers (reported as four inches of stabilizer and four inches of base) and said they are working to confirm the supplier and contractor chain for materials.
Council members discussed procurement rules for one-bid scenarios and agreed staff should document advertisements, direct outreach and attempted calls to other contractors; the council indicated the road award will appear on next month’s agenda for a formal vote once documentation is in the record.
Why it matters: The roads project represents a notable town capital expense. Because only one bidder responded, the council must document its competitive-bid efforts to satisfy procurement rules and provide a transparent record before it approves the contract.
Next steps: Staff will document outreach attempts and include the item on next month’s agenda for a vote. No contract award was finalized at the meeting.
