Road & Bridge Department – Bill Mack & Linda DeRose

Mack and DeRose presents a bid recommendation for the Landfill Engineering Project. They received four bids, which are:
1. American Environmental Consulting
2. KRW Consulting, Inc
3. Weaver-Boos Consulting, LLC
4. Northwest Colorado Consultants. Inc.

The contracts are good though 2010 with the option to renew in 2011.

Gray indicates that in the end of the comparisons he would of thought they could determine amounts, and comparisons to look at.
DeRose indicates that they did and was in the packet she submitted to the BOCC.

Mack recommends awarding the bid to Weaver-Boos even though they are not the low bid. Mack called the references for Weaver-Boos and they received high recommendation. The low bidder is American Environmental Consulting, but when he contacted their references they were not acceptable with the type of job Mack expects.

Gray questions what the comparisons were from the low bid with AEC. Comstock indicates that their were several reasons which were first bad references, required a cab drawing and statistics, and they required the county to purchase a computer program that is State mandated and were not familiar with. The high bid is $20,000.00 higher then the two middle bids. Comstock indicates that any of the three top bidders could do the job to the Counties standards.

Gray made a motion to approve the bid for the Landfill Engineering Project to Weaver Boos Consulting, LLC as the best bid. Mathers seconded the motion. Motion carried 3-0. See attached.

DeRose requests waiving the bid process for the drop cables on the swinging bridge.

Mathers made a motion to waive the bid process and go to a quote process for the additional supplies and cables needed for the swinging bridge project. Gray seconded the motion. Danner is very dismayed by the engineering company that they continue to need additional items to complete the swinging bridge project. Motion carried 3-0.
