Clark County rejects Donnelsville water system bids, to re-advertise July 16
Summary
The board rejected all bids for the Donnelsville Water System Project after received bids varied widely from engineer estimates and set a new public bid opening for July 16, 2026.
Commissioner Charles A. Patterson moved and the board voted to reject all bids for the Donnelsville Water System Project that were opened May 28, 2026, citing a need to revise the bid package to increase competition for distribution work and pumping station elements. The county read multiple bids and noted that several were over the engineer’s estimate; the Commission instructed the Clerk to re‑advertise bids with a new public opening scheduled for July 16, 2026.
The board’s action follows bid results that included multiple firms and a range of amounts against the Engineer’s Estimate (Base Bid A $8,600,000.00; Base Bid B $2,000,000.00). Commissioners said they will work to adjust the package, obtain more funding where needed for the pumping station and seek more competitive responses.
