The Kootenai County Board of Commissioners voted May 26 to award a $2,249,700 construction contract to Southern Construction Incorporated for phase one closure work on the Fighting Creek landfill east expansion.
Solid Waste Department staff informed the board that seven bids were received and reviewed by legal services and the department, and that Southern Construction submitted the lowest responsive bid.
