Commissioners take two cleaning-service bids under advisement, decision next week
Summary
Rosebud County commissioners opened two bids for cleaning and maintenance of county-owned buildings and voted to take both under advisement for one week while they seek clarifications on vague line items.
The Rosebud County Board of Commissioners voted to take two bids for a countywide cleaning-and-maintenance contract under advisement for one week, setting the item for decision at the next regular meeting.
Chair opened the bid opening and said, “We’ve received 2 bids so far,” identifying the first from Spielman Construction with a stated total of $48,100 and a second from Gardner Maintenance and Construction. The record names Ethan Gardner in connection with the second proposal; the chair read a unit price of $23.50 and the stated annual amount of $28,200 for that bid.
Commissioners discussed the need to review each bid closely and to seek clarifications on some vague line-item descriptions. “It might be good to sit down and talk to them and get some specifics down so we know exactly what we’re getting,” a commissioner said, urging staff to follow up with bidders.
A motion to take both bids under advisement for one week was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the board set the matter for a decision at next week’s meeting.
The action does not award a contract; it only authorizes a one-week review period for commissioners and staff to compare line-item details and, if necessary, request additional information from the bidders. The bidders recorded in the meeting transcript are Spielman Construction and Gardner Maintenance and Construction (Ethan Gardner).
