Owsley County moves to accept lowest bid for construction package
Summary
At its meeting, county officials reviewed multiple construction bids for a package of work and a committee member moved to accept the lowest bidder; the transcript records a verbal second but no formal roll-call tally.
The Chair opened discussion of a multi-part construction package that included 3,440 linear feet of railing, 2,000 square feet of excavation and 370 cubic yards of backfill and read a line-item total of $154,651 for one package.
A committee member moved 'to go to the best' and later explicitly moved 'to take the lowest bid.' The motion was seconded on the record, though the transcript does not include a roll-call vote or named seconder. The Chair read additional vendor totals (for example, bids reaching $240,800 and other figures) before the motion and subsequent acknowledgements indicated the panel would proceed with the lowest responsive bid.
Officials discussed bid components in some detail, including counts of steel pieces and specific material quantities. The Chair said they would 'copy yours and sign them all' to proceed with paperwork. The transcript shows the lowest single-line bid for the backfill/excavation package at $14,900 and other bids at $20,160, $24,360 and $40,008.25. The record indicates selection of the low bid for award but does not include a formal tally or explicit naming of the winning vendor in the transcript excerpt.
