Board approves Bel Prairie Park construction contract; High‑Tech Construction was low bidder
Summary
The board awarded contract C2602 for Bel Prairie Park to High‑Tech Construction after seven bids were received; staff recommended awarding both alternates and the resolution passed by roll call.
Public Works presented bids for the Bel Prairie Park project (contract C2602) and recommended awarding the work to the low bidder, High‑Tech Construction of Brainard, Minn. Seven prime bids were received and staff said the low bid came in below the engineer’s estimate with alternates.
Tony Henning, public works director, explained the base bid and two alternates (including a boat‑landing planking alternate and replacement railing material). He told the board staff verified the low bid with the contractor and recommended awarding alternates one and two as well. "We were very happy to see a bid that came in about 6% underneath our engineer's estimate," Henning said.
Commissioner Moran moved to approve the award; after corrections to the stated second, the board approved resolution 2602 by roll call (Lamir, Winer, Moran, Casper, Chair) and the resolution passed.
Staff said they expect local subcontracting opportunities on portions of the work and emphasized the competitive bidding environment produced seven bidders.
