<br /> <br />7.K. APPROVAL OF BID AWARD FOR IRC BID #2007018 LIFT <br />STATION 166 IMPROVEMENTS, UTILITIES DEPARTMENT <br /> <br />Commissioner Bowden questioned why there were thirteen (13) requests for bids yet only one <br />responded, then she asked if there was a problem. <br /> <br />Director of Utilities Erik Olson advised that they were surprised as well because when they have <br />a simple project like this with a bid amount of only $38,000.00, they expected more bidders to respond <br />also, but they didn’t. He explained they felt quite comfortable awarding it to J & H Waterstop, Inc. <br />because they have dealt with this company in the past and they have also done a lot of work for the <br />County previously. Even though it was just one bidder it was well under the estimated budget, he <br />disclosed. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Bowden, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Davis, the Board unanimously awarded the bid to <br />J&H Waterstop, Inc., as the lowest most responsive and <br />responsible bidder meeting the specifications as set forth in the <br />Invitation to Bid; approved the sample agreement and authorized <br />the Chairman to execute said agreement when required <br />performance and payment bonds have been submitted along with <br />appropriate certificate of insurance and the County Attorney had <br />approved the agreement as to form and legal sufficiency, as <br />recommended in the memorandum of November 1, 2006. <br /> <br /> November 21, 2006 <br />8 <br /> <br />
