Board awards Road O bridge contract to Midwest Infrastructure for $1.039 million
Summary
After opening four bids, York County awarded the replacement of the Road O bridge (between M550 and M450, near Sax Lake) to Midwest Infrastructure for $1,039,572.92; the board discussed salvage materials and project timing before approving the award.
York County commissioners approved a contract on May 12, 2022, awarding Midwest Infrastructure the low bid of $1,039,572.92 to replace the Road O bridge between M550 and M450, near Sax Lake.
County highway staff opened four bids. The read bid totals were: Herbst Construction (overall about $1,113,406), Simon (about $1,133,800), Midwest Infrastructure (low bid, $1,039,572.92), and JJK (about $1,208,572.54). Highway staff recommended selecting Midwest Infrastructure based on price and recent experience building similar bridges in the region.
Commissioners discussed estimated construction windows offered in the bids, salvage-material provisions (the county expects modest salvage value) and whether the bid pricing aligned with the county’s estimates. The highway superintendent noted previous repairs and the bridge’s original construction date (1937) during the presentation of background on local bridge needs.
A motion to award the contract to Midwest Infrastructure carried on a roll call vote. Highway staff will complete the contract paperwork and coordinate the construction schedule and materials handling with the contractor.
Next step: staff to finalize contract documents with Midwest Infrastructure and confirm a construction start date consistent with the contractor’s schedule and county needs.
