that are not purchased at the Judicial Sale.
The Board conducted a bid opening for the 2018 Bridge Maintenance Program.
Steve Malesker, Bridge Engineer from C.S. Davison, was present to explain there were
no bids the last time this was bid so a minor change was made to the timeframe to do
the work. The company he spoke too said they felt the 90 days was not long enough,
however that 120 days permitted enough time. The following bidder submitted a bid:
Wm. Orr and Sons bid the total amount of $187,634.70. Mr. Malesker said the bid is
higher than anticipated but the cost of guiderail has gone up and there is enough
budgeted for the project. He said that Wm. Orr and Sons do good work and they have
done other guiderail jobs for us in the past so he is comfortable awarding the bid to them
after Solicitor reviews the documents. On a motion by Robert L. Thomas, seconded by
Robert G. Ziobrowski; unanimously approved to accept the bid received contingent on
County Solicitor review.
The meeting was adjourned at 9:47 a.m. with a motion by Robert L. Thomas;
seconded by Robert G. Ziobrowski.
