Commissioners refer Metra Westside concession bids to staff

At the Feb. 6 meeting of the Board of County Commissioners, the board opened bids for the Metra new Westside concessions and voted unanimously to refer the proposals to county staff for review and recommendation.

Speaker 2 announced the bid opening and stated, "And this is the bid opening for the Metra new Westside concessions and a bid bond is required." Speaker 1 read the figures submitted: for Wyman Construction the transcript records two successive amounts, $346,927 and $346,009.27, and for Star Service Incorporated two successive amounts, $384,450 and $384,004.50. The board did not debate the bids on the record and instead moved to send them to staff.

Speaker 2 moved to refer the opened bids to staff for a recommendation back to the board; Speaker 1 seconded. The motion carried by voice vote.

Next steps: staff will review the bids, verify bid bonds and compliance with bidding requirements, and return a recommendation to the board for contract award or further action.
