Commission approves multiple construction bids; chair recuses on one high-value Aberdeen-area item
Summary
The Commission approved a slate of bid awards from April 1 and April 15 lettings, including major contract awards for roadway and structure work; Chairman Austin Simons recused from the April 15 bid item #11 and the remaining commissioners approved the item in his absence.
Sam Weisgram presented the April 1 and April 15 bid letting results, showing several awarded contracts across regions. Bids included a $8,000,211.14 award to Loiseau Construction for Hanson County grading and related work and a $9,425,110.15 award to Bituminous Paving for US‑385 slide repair in the Pennington County area.
Chairman Austin Simons disclosed a potential conflict of interest related to bid item #11 from the April 15 letting, yielded the gavel to Commissioner Don Roby and recused himself for discussion and vote on that item; Commissioners Nelson and Rosenboom moved and seconded approval of bid #11 and it passed with Simons recused. The Commission approved other bid groups by roll call in two separate motions (bids #1–9 and 12–14, and bid #10 separately).
