Commission approves Perkins Park water-heater replacement despite single bid
Summary
After receiving only one bid resulting from a change in scope, the board approved Prime Specialty Contracting’s proposal to replace Perkins Park’s water heater; funding was identified as Perkins Park Reserve.
The Marquette County Board on June 16 approved a contract to replace a large industrial hot-water heater at Perkins Park. County staff said the project’s scope changed—combining two units into one—requiring a formal RFP; only one bid, from Prime Specialty Contracting, was received.
Commissioners questioned procurement outreach when only a single bid is received; staff said they advertised the RFP in the builders exchange, newspapers and contacted prior bidders and concluded the price is fair compared with earlier estimates. The funding source for the project was identified as Perkins Park Reserve funds and the board approved proceeding with the contract.
