Board opens bids for Secondary Roads shop expansion; engineer to recommend contractor next week
Summary
Story County engineers opened eight bids for a Secondary Roads shop expansion on May 5; bids ranged from $1.19 million to $1.53 million. Engineer Darren Moon told the Board he will return next week with a recommendation.
Story County Engineer Darren Moon and Assistant Engineer Tyler Sparks opened sealed bids for the Secondary Roads shop expansion project, listing eight submissions and corresponding completion timelines. Bids ranged from Harold Pike Construction of Ames at $1,190,000.00 (30 calendar weeks) to Jensen Builders of Des Moines at $1,530,000.00 (34 calendar weeks). The Board took no award action at the meeting.
Moon stated he will return to the Board next week with a recommendation. The engineers recorded contractor names, bond status, and any addenda attached to each bid. The range of completion calendars—reported between 24 and 34 weeks—was highlighted as a consideration alongside price. The Board did not discuss funding specifics at the opening; procurement and formal award are expected at a future meeting once staff completes bid review and compliance checks.
