Summary

The board accepted Mathiowetz's $149,992.10 quote to repair a pipe on County Road 99 so work could begin before harvest; FEMA has approved reimbursement, and the county cited timing as the primary reason to choose the second-lowest bid.

Public Works Director Nick Klisch presented four contractor quotes to repair a failing pipe on County Road 99 and said the repair was urgent ahead of harvest. Quotes were: Towne & Country $164,862.85; Midwest $173,503.02; R&E Enterprises $130,724.50; Mathiowetz $149,992.10. The board unanimously accepted Mathiowetz's $149,992.10 quote because Mathiowetz could start work before Oct. 10 whereas the lowest bidder could not begin until November. Minutes state FEMA approved reimbursement for the repair.

Board minutes record the decision briefed by Klisch and approved without recorded opposition. The minutes do not detail the contract schedule beyond the start-date availability rationale or how FEMA reimbursement will be processed.
