Itasca County awards HSIP intersection contract to H&R Construction
Summary
The Itasca County Board approved awarding HSIP contract SP 031-070-010 to H&R Construction Co. with a low bid of $239,980, exceeding the engineer's estimate of $153,032; at least $181,080 in federal HSIP funds were available for the project. Approval was 4-0 (one commissioner absent).
The Itasca County Board of Commissioners voted May 19 to award SP 031-070-010, an HSIP intersection signing and pavement markings contract, to H&R Construction Co. The low bid was $239,980.00; the engineer’s estimate listed in the project materials was $153,032.00, and the RBA noted a minimum of $181,080.00 in federal Highway Safety Improvement Program funds were available for the work.
The project packet and RBA (presenter: Ryan Sutherland) attribute the large variance between the engineer's estimate and the low bid to a single pay item whose average unit price was not directly applicable to this project. The board approved the award 4-0 (Commissioners Cory Smith, Terry Snyder, Larry Hopkins and Casey Venema voting yes; Commissioner John Johnson absent), and authorized signatures on contract documents pending County Attorney review.
