County opens bids for 2026 road project; staff authorized to review and recommend award
Summary
Billings County opened several bids for the 2026 Bobby Koopas road project and authorized staff to review submissions with the road superintendent and recommend an award pending verification of bid bonds and licensing.
County staff opened bids for the 2026 Bobby Koopas project and recorded amounts from multiple contractors. The lowest apparent bidder on initial opening appeared to be Fisher Sand and Gravel (~$314,403.01) with other bids ranging higher; staff noted some paperwork irregularities (a contractor license date typo) and asked the commission to waive the irregularity contingent on verification.
The board moved to authorize staff and the road superintendent to review bids and return with a recommended award. "What I'd like to do is take the bids and review them... and if you guys feel comfortable ordering, pending our review," the opening officer said; commissioners approved pending review and recommendation.
Staff will check bonds, verify contractor licensing and return with a recommendation at a subsequent meeting before awarding the contract.
