BIDS:
PRESENT BIDS: There were no bids to present.
APPROVE ROAD DESIGN OF WCR 13 BETWEEN WCR 8 AND 5TH STREET BID, PUBLIC WORKS:
Keith Meyer, Department of Public Works,requested an extension for approval of this bid to February 11,
2004, since the low bidder appears to be an unqualified firm. Mr. Meyer stated staff is preparing a new
qualification-based selection process for Board approval,which could be used to select the appropriate
vendor in bids of this type. Responding to Commissioner Vaad, Mr. Meyer said cost will be a factor in the
proposed criteria; however, qualifications are another important aspect of the selection. Responding to
CommissionerJerke,Bruce Barker,County Attomey,stated qualification-based approval has been granted
previously,in bids which specified the qualification base prior to bidding. Mr.Meyer stated this process will
be the most advantageous to the county, and it would veer away from acceptance of low bidders, which
may be unqualified,for engineering consultants. After further discussion, Commissioner Vaad moved to
continue this bid to February 11, 2004, at 9:00 a.m. The motion,which was seconded by Commissioner
Jerke, who also requested a work session, carried unanimously.
