Board awards two-bridge maintenance contract; staff explains KDOT prequalification requirements
Summary
The board awarded a $231,055 bid for maintenance on two county bridges to Pareto Construction LLC and heard Public Works explain KDOT prequalification categories (Type E for bridge repair) and subcontractor requirements when a bidder lacks the specific prequalification.
The Board approved a low, responsible bid from Pareto Construction LLC for $231,055 to perform maintenance on two Sedgwick County bridges: one on 85th Street North near Hoover Road and another on 47th Street South between Clifton and Hydraulic. Joe Thomas read an engineer's estimate of $485,156 and recommended the award based on the bids received.
Board members asked about KDOT prequalification requirements for contractors. Lynn Packer of Public Works explained that KDOT prequalification ensures firms are financially viable and have demonstrated the ability to complete required work; Type E is the category specific to bridge repair. Packer said if a bidder is not prequalified in the required category, the bidder must secure a subcontractor who is prequalified for those items. The board moved and approved the award after discussion.
