Board approves new county parking‑lot project; commissioner abstains over contractor tie
Summary
Todd County accepted Joe Riley Construction's low bid for a new parking lot base and hilltop resurfacing (base bid $118,006.60; alternate add‑on $34,005.21). One commissioner abstained, citing a family tie to a foreman at the winning firm.
The board approved option 1 for a new county parking lot project, accepting the low base bid from Joe Riley Construction and authorizing resurfacing of the hilltop parking area.
Facilities/project staff (S14) described the base bid and alternate scope, saying the base work includes sidewalks, fencing required by a city CUP, lighting and concrete approaches; the alternate add‑on covers mill/overlay work on the hilltop. Staff reported a low base bid of $118,006.60 and an alternate add‑on of $34,005.21. Commissioner S4 moved to approve option 1 and a second followed. Commissioner S6 announced an abstention, stating, "I I'm gonna abstain from voting on this. I do have a conflict. I have a nephew that's a foreman for Joe Riley." The motion passed with the abstention recorded.
Staff noted the project coordination with a separate Rockwell project and explained why a previously considered grant was not used due to prevailing‑wage and other stipulations. The board directed facilities staff to ensure appropriate signage and accessibility features are included.
