Marquette County board approves annual material bids; low asphalt bid $405 per ton
Summary
Marquette County board voted to accept annual material bids after staff reported most prices rose slightly but asphalt oil fell, with a low bid of $405 per ton; WK Construction was noted as the sole bidder for coal-in-place recycling.
Marquette County board members voted to accept the county’s annual material bids after a staff presentation that highlighted a mix of modest increases and one notable decrease in asphalt oil costs.
Presenter (Speaker 4) told the board that “for the most part, had some slight increases” across items but that “the asphalt oil was actually down from last year. Our low bidder was, $405 a ton,” a change the presenter said will reduce asphalt prices this year. The presenter also said WK Construction was the lone bidder for the county’s coal-in-place recycling work and that a single bidder responded to the county’s chip-seal project.
A committee member (Speaker 1) moved to accept the bids and to award work to the most advantageous bidder by project location; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Chair (Speaker 2) called for the ayes and declared the motion carried.
The decision authorizes staff to award contracts based on the county’s needs and project locations; the presentation did not list full bidder contact details for every line item beyond the examples cited. The county’s procurement timing and the contractor selections will determine which vendors perform work this construction season.
