Seven bids read for 'Bridge Road Bridal' project; council votes to review results in executive session
Summary
Staff reported seven contractor bids for the Bridge Road Bridal construction project and requested an executive session to review evaluations; the bids and amounts were read into the record and members voted to move into executive session to discuss results privately before making a public award decision.
A staff member told the meeting that the town received seven bids for the Bridge Road Bridal construction item and asked the members to go into executive session to review the results and explain next steps to bidders.
“We received 7 bids. Holy smokes,” the staff member said, then asked to move into executive session to discuss the results. Members debated whether bid amounts and bidder names must be placed in the public minutes now or whether the totals should be read for the record and the evaluative discussion held privately.
The Chair read the seven bids and amounts into the public record: JFNF Site Works, $206,670; J. A. McDonald, $242,610; Simpson Dirt Work, $254,435; Matthews Escalating, $258,742; Kirby Mountain Lawn, $281,580; Alliance Consulting and Escambation, $315,000; and Alstrom Escabating, $638,638. An agency official warned that premature disclosure of evaluation details could place the town at a disadvantage; after the reading the Chair moved “that we go to executive session to discuss these bids,” the motion was seconded and approved with members responding “Aye.” The Chair said the formal selection would be decided publicly after the private evaluation.
The transcript does not record a subsequent contract award; members indicated the award decision and next steps would be presented publicly following the executive session.
