County staff reported sealed bid results for the Athena Tanger project and asked the board to accept the lowest responsible bidder.
Four sealed bids were opened: $2.27 million (MacArthur Construction), $2.57 million, $2.66 million and $3.41 million. Staff noted the project's grant was set at $2.4 million and the accepted bid of $2.27 million fell below the maximum allowable amount.
Commissioner Britain said he would abstain from the vote because of an existing working relationship with MacArthur Construction; the board recorded the abstention and approved the award to MacArthur Construction on roll call.
The board authorized staff to proceed with contract negotiations and directed the county to move forward with project administration under the grant terms.
