Summary

Fergus County commissioners opened bids for the 3rd Avenue Bridge project and recorded a lump-sum bid of $214,005.15; commissioners said the county engineer will review bids before any award is made.

Fergus County commissioners opened sealed bids for the 3rd Avenue Bridge project during their public meeting. Chair (S1) read aloud bid submissions and identified at least two contracting firms—Knife River and Rinker Materials—among respondents. A lump-sum bid of $214,005.15 was read into the record.

Commissioners noted they did not make an award at the meeting and said the county engineer will review the paperwork, bid bonds and specifications before any contract decision. “I'll pass this along to the engineer,” Chair (S1) said after the bids were opened.

The board did not discuss a timeline for award or funding specifics at the meeting. Several numeric items in the bid readout were unclear in the transcript and will be verified during the engineer’s review. The county indicated interested parties will have an opportunity to ask questions during the subsequent review phase.
