Summary
St. Lawrence County Highway Superintendent Don Chambers opened bids covering truck scales in Messina, multiple storm-damage bridge repair contracts, snowplow cutting edges and county road salt for the coming season. Several firms submitted bids with bridge-repair totals ranging from $219,000 to $516,000 and salt prices that vary by lot and delivery term.
Don Chambers, St. Lawrence County highway superintendent, opened and read aloud bids for multiple highway procurement items, including truck scales in Messina, snowplow cutting edges and cover blades, several contracts to restore storm‑damaged bridges, and county road salt supply for the coming season.
Chambers said Scale Service and Supply Company Incorporated was the lone bidder for a truck scale in Messina, New York, submitting a bid of $78,890.00 and a non‑collusion certificate. Chambers noted that bid was the only truck‑scale proposal on the record.
On snowplow cutting edges and cover blades, Chambers read acknowledgments of addenda and non‑collusion statements for bidders including Shamunk Supply and Volk. Chambers did not read all numeric line items for those bids during the session and said full bid sheets would be made available to bidders.
Chambers opened multiple bids for restoration of storm‑damaged bridges. The bids read into the record included: Paris Environmental Control and Parkway ($334,000.00); Bishop Construction Unlimited Inc. ($373,600.00); Friend Commercial Contracting ($415,000.00); Sheehan Contracting Corporation ($219,000.00); and Tuscarora Construction Company Inc. ($516,000.00). Chambers confirmed each bidder had submitted required documents such as addendum acknowledgments and surety statements.
Chambers then read road‑salt bids for county stockpiles and delivered supply. For Lot 1 (St. Lawrence County locations) and Lot 2 (Franklin County locations) the bids included varied delivered and FOB prices: Compass Minerals listed $80.44 per ton delivered to St. Lawrence County locations and $76.00 per ton FOB at the Ogdensburg stockpile; Cargill submitted a $94.12 per ton delivered price for Franklin County locations but recorded some 'no bid' lines for Lot 1/FOB in the segments read; American Rock Salt bid $98.73 per ton delivered to all St. Lawrence County locations and $75.00 FOB with stockpile at Hampton Corners; Norton Salt Incorporated listed $94.96 per ton delivered and $94.00 FOB (stockpile location transcribed as "Augsburg" in the record); and Appalachia LLC listed $111.00 per ton delivered and $91.00 FOB for St. Lawrence County stockpiles and $118.00 per ton delivered for Franklin County locations with FOB $91.00 (stockpile at Oswego, New York).
Chambers closed the bid opening after reading the submitted totals and required documentation. He indicated the county would make bid sheets available to bidders; there was no award or formal contract award recorded during the session.
The bid opening focused on documenting submissions and confirming compliance with addenda and non‑collusion/surety requirements. Next procedural steps (not recorded in this session) typically include county review of bids and formal contract award decisions at a later date or a subsequent meeting.
