Warren County opens bids for Spring Creek Community Park CDBG project
Summary
At a June 29 special work session, the Warren County Commissioners opened and recorded three bids for the Spring Creek Community Park CDBG project; officials said the bids will be reviewed because they are not directly comparable on construction scope. The session adjourned following a unanimous motion.
Warren County Commissioners opened bids for the Spring Creek Community Park Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) project during a special work session on June 29, 2026, at 204 Fourth Ave., Warren. Josh Cotton said the county received three design/engineering bids and listed bidders and amounts.
Josh Cotton, a presenter at the session, told the board the bids are: Veridian Civil Design, $11,197; EADS Group, $14,000; and E&M Engineers, $27,459. Cotton said the bids "will be reviewed very carefully," adding they are not "apples-to-apples" on the construction side and require further evaluation by staff before any award recommendation.
The bids were opened under the agenda item labeled "Open Bids for Spring Creek Community Park CDBG Project." The transcript records the opening and the bids but shows no formal award or vote on contract selection at the meeting. Records list the meeting start time as 10:00 AM in the header, while time-stamped agenda actions in the minutes (recording announcement, bidding discussion and adjournment) appear between 2:24 PM and 2:52 PM.
No public comments or special presentations related to the bids are recorded in the transcript excerpt. The meeting proceeded through routine agenda items and closed with a motion to adjourn: Commissioner Daniel Glotz moved to adjourn; Commissioner Kenneth L. Klakamp seconded the motion, which the record says "carried unanimously." The transcript does not list individual roll-call votes or a numerical tally for the adjournment.
Next steps described in the session were limited to staff review: county staff will evaluate the differing scopes and return recommendations to the commissioners; no procurement decision was made before adjournment. The minutes for the session were submitted by Chief Clerk Pamela Matve.
