Commissioners conditionally accept low bid for county roof, defer final funding decision
Summary
Granite County officials opened roofing bids, identified a low responsive bidder (TCS Northwest) and voted to accept the low bid conditionally on available funding as the board aligns budget timing across fiscal years.
Granite County commissioners opened three bids for a county roof project and identified TCS Northwest as the lowest responsive bidder with a combined base-and-alternate price estimated at $446,787.
Bid packages from K & K Roofing, TCS Northwest and Metal Works of Montana were read into the record and commissioners and staff totaled base bids and alternates. County staff advised the commission that funds availability must be confirmed before a binding award.
The board then moved and seconded a conditional award to the low bidder, subject to confirmed funding. Chair and commissioners recorded a voice vote of 'Aye' to approve the conditional award. Commissioners discussed the option of structuring the contract across two fiscal years to match payments to available budget and agreed staff would return with updated budget information in the coming week.
A member of the public asked whether there would be an additional public comment opportunity next week; commissioners said the conditional award had been made and that next-week agenda items would include the final funding discussion, at which point further public comment could be received.
The conditional award preserves the county’s position to proceed quickly if funding is secured while giving staff direction to finalize budget arrangements before signing a contract.
