Summary

Staff recommended and the court approved awarding the Little Chocolate Valleys Park Ridge public-access project to Continental Contractors Inc. for a base bid of $490,762.40; the project budgeted at $550,000 leaves contingency for unforeseen items.

County staff reported receipt of five bids for the Little Chocolate Valleys Park Ridge public access project and recommended awarding the base bid to Continental Contractors Inc. for $490,762.40. The staff presenter said calendar days and bid items were comparable among bidders, and that Continental's lower price resulted from self-performing the concrete/bridle item.

"We recommend the award of this project to Continental Contractors Incorporated," the presenter said, and noted prior working relationships. The presenter also said the county budgeted $550,000 for the project, leaving a contingency buffer below the budgeted amount.

Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the award; staff said they would issue a notice to proceed and begin contract document preparations, including performance bonds and payment bonds.
