Supervisors award FEMA drainage project bids to Diamond Concrete; 24‑hour bid withdrawal window noted
Summary
The board identified Diamond Concrete of Spirit Lake as the apparent low bidder on joint FEMA drainage district projects and approved awards for joint DD1–3 and DD19. The board recorded voice votes and instructed staff to confirm bid bonds and bid withdrawal status.
Dickinson County supervisors reviewed bids opened the prior Friday for FEMA drainage district improvement projects covering joint Drainage Districts 1, 2 and 3 (coordinated with Oola County) and Drainage District 19 (a Dickinson County‑only project). The engineer told the board five competitive bids were received and identified Diamond Concrete of Spirit Lake as the apparent low bidder; the meeting transcript records the bid amount read aloud as “$94,1028” (format in the meeting record appears misformatted and requires verification).
On motion of Supervisor Kim Warmerson, seconded by other board members, the board voted to accept Diamond Concrete’s bids for joint DD1–3 and then separately for DD19. Supervisors recorded voice votes during roll call; staff noted companies have up to 24 hours after opening to rescind and that the county will confirm bid bonds before issuing contracts.
County engineering staff will follow up to verify Diamond Concrete’s bid bond, confirm the bid amount in the formal bid tabulation, and return to the board with contract documents. No contract award beyond the board’s approval was signed at the April 1 meeting.
What’s next: County engineering will confirm the low bidder’s bond and withdrawal window, then prepare contract paperwork for execution once the procedural checks are complete.
