County staff say CMAQ-linked project may require expedited award due to single bidder and shipping constraints
Summary
Road and Bridge staff told the board that a project formerly tied to CMAQ funds drew a single qualified bidder; staff asked for authority to award sooner than the regular meeting schedule so the contractor can schedule rail shipping of materials.
Road and Bridge staff (S6) reported bids opened for a project previously associated with CMAQ funding but now treated as a regular county project. Staff said the work typically has a single qualified contractor and that if the board wants the contractor to meet rail shipping schedules, staff should be able to award the contract before the next regular meeting.
Staff asked for permission to proceed via an up‑staff meeting to consider the award so the contractor can secure rail shipments and maintain their schedule. Commissioners agreed staff should bring back a formal recommendation at next week’s up‑staff meeting and be prepared to act to avoid schedule and cost impacts.
