WCNWB to seek clarified aquatic-weed bids from two vendors ahead of May decision
Summary
Wahkiakum County Noxious Weed Board members reviewed aquatic-management bids from Woodland Resources and Chase Metzger, discussed pre-treatment and chemical-use options, and asked Coordinator Adam Fletcher to request complete bids and clarifications before the May 4 meeting when a selection will be made.
The Wahkiakum County Noxious Weed Board reviewed two responses to its aquatic-management request for bids and set a schedule to finalize a contractor at its May meeting.
Board members noted that Woodland Resources and Chase Metzger submitted responses and that key differences in the proposals relate to pre-treatment approaches and the specific herbicides proposed. Adam Fletcher, identified in the roll call as the WCNWB coordinator, said he would contact both vendors to request complete, clarified bids and additional information before the board’s next meeting on May 4, when the board plans to make a decision.
The discussion focused on operational details including pre-treatment options and chemical-use practices rather than an immediate award. The board did not record a formal motion to select a vendor at the April 6 meeting; instead, members directed staff to gather additional information so that members could compare complete proposals at the May meeting. The board’s timeline for making a contract award depends on the follow-up materials Fletcher will request from the vendors.
