Cerro Gordo County accepts $757,140 low bid from Dixon Construction for B60 bridge
Summary
The county board accepted a $757,140 low bid from Dixon Construction for a B60 bridge project (about 4% over the engineer's estimate) and adopted a resolution authorizing the county engineer to sign contract documents.
The Cerro Gordo County Board voted to accept the low bid of $757,140 from Dixon Construction for the B60 bridge project and authorized the chair to sign the contract documents.
Brandon reported that four bids were received and the low bid was "only 4% over our engineer's estimate" and "came in at $757,140 by Dixon Construction." He recommended accepting the low bidder. A motion to accept the bid and authorize the chair to sign passed by voice vote; the board then adopted Resolution 2026 number 46 authorizing the county engineer to sign related documents.
A board member asked whether the county had used the low bidder before. Brandon replied, "Yeah, I use them actually extensively over in Cherokee County." The board recorded no detailed roll-call tally in the transcript; approval was by voice vote.
The transcript includes a higher bid figure that is unclear in wording (reported as "1,57,000"); that figure could not be confidently transcribed and is recorded in clarifying details as not specified. The county will proceed with contract authorization under the terms in the bid documents and the county engineer’s signature as authorized by Resolution 2026-46.
