Commissioners weigh generator bids, add 60-day completion condition
Summary
Board members reviewed two bids for a replacement generator, compared price and timelines, and agreed to condition an award on contractor completion within roughly 60 days; Imperial bid was $41,000 and Alger County Electric bid $43,050.
Alger County commissioners reviewed bids to replace a county generator and discussed including a firm completion timeline as part of the award. A county official reported two comparable proposals with different prices and noted that faster completion could justify a higher bid if it reduced ongoing lease costs for a rented generator.
A committee member summarized the bids: "So we got 41,000 from Imperial and 43,000 from Alger County Electric or $43.05." Commissioners said they would condition an award on the contractor completing work within about 60 days; if the chosen contractor cannot meet the timeframe the board agreed to return the item to the agenda and consider other bidders.
