Billings — The Yellowstone County commissioners on Feb. 20 opened bids for a public works asphalt overlay project covering Chicago Haines Road and Alkali Creek Road and referred the bids to staff for review and recommendation.
Chair said the courthouse security camera bid opening was canceled because the pre-bid meeting had to be rescheduled. The board then opened the asphalt overlay bids; county staff announced bids from Riverside and Knife River. The transcript reports Riverside’s bid in the $1.085 million range (speaker hesitated between close figures) and Knife River’s bid at roughly $972,735. The board moved to refer the bids to staff and voted to send them for review and recommendation back to the board.
No formal award was made at the meeting; staff will evaluate the bids, confirm bid bonds and return with a recommendation.
