Milbank council accepts $38,320.48 quote for new rubble‑site excavation
Summary
The Milbank City Council voted 6-0 to accept a $38,320.48 quote from J&J Earthworks Inc. for excavation of a new rubble site after removing the notice and call for bids because all preliminary quotes were below the bid threshold.
The Milbank City Council voted 6-0 on June 6 to accept a $38,320.48 quote from J&J Earthworks Inc. to excavate a new rubble site. Council members recorded three preliminary quotes: Bates Construction Co. $80,001; Ronglien Excavating, Inc. $42,600; and J&J Earthworks Inc. $38,320.48.
Mayor Pro Tem Mindy Rogers presided over the motion after the council removed the formal notice and call for bids on the item because the preliminary estimates were below the threshold that would trigger competitive bidding. The council then moved to accept the lowest quote and carried the motion 6-0. The meeting minutes record: "A motion was made and seconded to accept the quote from J&J Earthworks Inc. Motion carried 6-0."
The action authorizes the city to proceed with excavation work at the newly designated rubble site using the accepted contractor. The minutes do not specify a project start date, contract terms, or which city department will administer the contract; those details were not provided in the record.
