County approves Holloway low bids for two bridge structures; state to cover 80%
Summary
Brookings County awarded two low bids to Holloway Bridge And Culvert for two county structures with a combined bid of ~$2.16 million; highway staff said the projects carry an 80/20 state‑county funding split and DOT concurrence.
The Brookings County Commission approved low bids to Holloway Bridge And Culvert for two structures the county has been advertising.
Highway staff reported the combined engineer's estimate for the two structures was $2.7 million, while the combined low bids totaled $2,162,489.93. The commission approved the low bids during separate motions: Structure 06-240-12309 at $453,937.43 and Structure 06-240-141 at $1,708,522.50. Highway staff and the engineer recommended Holloway; DOT concurrence was noted.
Commissioners discussed contractor prequalification and past performance: staff said completion of these projects would place Holloway on the county's prequalified list for this work type if they successfully complete the contracts. Highway staff also confirmed both structures will be funded on an 80/20 split, with the state paying 80% and Brookings County responsible for 20%.
Why it matters: These are capital infrastructure projects affecting local roads; approving the low bids advances procurement and prepares the county to proceed with construction oversight and the necessary matching funds.
