Single bid opened for Libby FVCC/LCC campus water‑damage repairs; engineer review planned
Summary
County staff opened a single bid for Libby campus water‑damage repairs (remediation and reconstruction line items presented); staff will forward bids to the county engineer for review before a recommendation.
At the bid opening for water damage repairs at the Libby FVCC/LCC campus, staff reported only one bid was received on time. The bid documents included two component totals—one labeled a remediation subtotal and a second labeled reconstruction—then combined for a higher total. Staff said they would forward the full submission to the county engineer for technical review.
When staff read the attachment totals, the transcript captures the figures presented in the bid materials: "The first bid... for a subtotal is $180,78.97" and a separate reconstruction total of "$231,836.03" (as read from the submitted attachments); staff noted the two attachments represent separate scopes and advised the board they will send both to the engineer for validation before any award decision.
Commissioners and staff discussed that the combined figures approximate a $411,000 total and confirmed the engineer will review scope, pricing and compliance with the solicitation prior to any contract award. No contract award was made at the meeting; a recommendation will follow the engineer’s review.
