The Rural Water District's professional engineer recommended that M-Conn, LLC be selected as the contractor to complete the project, even though it wasn't the lowest bidder.
Gaughan opened the item for public comment. No comment was received.
Flory moved to recommend to the Rural Water District No. 6 Board that it approve the second lowest bidder, M-Conn, LLC, with a base bid of $91,550. This recommendation is based upon the advice from Bartlett & West, the professional engineer hired by the Rural Water District No. 6 Board. The County Commission understands that the final authority for choosing the contractor rests with the Rural Water District Board. Therefore, if the Water District Board wishes to accept the lowest bid, the County Commission will concur with the wishes of the Water District Board without further action or objection from the County Commission. Motion was seconded by Thellman and carried 3-0.
