Summary
Commissioners voted unanimously July 14 to remove Alternate No. 1 from Bid 26-005 and award the base bid for 7 Mile Lane Bridge Improvements to Knife River Corporation—South at $795,446.84, accepting the engineering recommendation and bid tabulation.
McLennan County Commissioners on July 14 amended the court's June 16 decision on Bid 26-005 for the 7 Mile Lane Bridge Improvements, removing Alternate No. 1 and awarding the base bid only to Knife River Corporation—South.
Commissioner James Smith moved to remove Alternate No. 1 and award the base bid, Commissioner Ben Perry seconded, and Judge Scott M. Felton, Commissioners Smith, Will Jones and Perry voted unanimously to approve the motion. County purchasing and engineering had recommended Knife River as the lowest responsible bidder: $795,446.84 for the base bid and an add alternate of $4,500 that would have yielded $799,946.84 if included.
The court record cites a purchasing recommendation from Ken Bass and engineering verification by Emily Petrosky, P.E., BGE, Inc. The court ordered the amendment and the award by unanimous vote. The procurement file and bid tabulation were entered into the minutes for public record.
