Commissioners Review Bids for Metropark Forklift and Discuss Tapestry Apartments

The Yellowstone County Commissioner meeting held on January 24, 2023, included a key agenda item focused on the opening of bids for a new forklift for Metropark. The meeting commenced with the announcement of two bids received for the equipment.

The first bid was submitted by TNE Cap, which included a bid bond and suggested upgrades totaling $36,397.97. The second bid came from Anderson Forklift, priced at $34,930, also accompanied by a bid bond.

Following the presentation of the bids, a motion was made to refer both bids to staff for further evaluation and recommendations. The motion received a second, and after a brief discussion, it was unanimously approved by the commissioners.

This decision marks a step forward in the procurement process for the necessary equipment at Metropark, with staff tasked to provide a recommendation for the board's consideration in a future meeting.
