Bids for Contract A of Kandiyohi’s USDA Phase 1 infrastructure project, covering street, water, sewer and storm work, are due Aug. 21, 2025, the council was told at its Aug. 18 meeting.
According to the staff report presented to the City Council, the city cannot proceed to award a contract until the bid package is reviewed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and by the city attorney. The council received the update as part of routine reports; no award or contractor was named at the meeting.
The meeting packet’s claims list also shows a Moore Engineering charge labeled “Final Design/Bidding/Easements” for Phase 1 at $253,999.50. The claims list itemization lists total expenditures for that pay period as $36,441.00 and separately notes a city portion of fire department expenditures of $1,052.63. The council approved the claims list as part of its consent agenda.
No timetable for award beyond the Aug. 21 bid deadline was provided, and staff advised that federal review and the city attorney’s review must be completed before the council could finalize any contract award. The council took no formal action on an award at this meeting; the next procedural step is receipt and review of bids following the Aug. 21 deadline.
