The Sheridan County School District No. 2 Board of Trustees approved a recommendation to award pavement maintenance unit prices to Meadowlark Asphalt following a public bid process and an apples-to-apples tabulation of estimates.
Facilities staff said they received four bids, applied a consistent set of estimated quantities to each bidder to compare pricing, and identified Meadowlark Asphalt as the low qualified bidder. The facilities presentation noted previous contractors and whether qualified bidders met Wyoming in-state registration rules that affect eligibility for in-state preference. Trustees asked about last year’s contractor performance and local-business status; staff noted one local firm did not qualify for the in-state preference because it was not registered with Wyoming (segmented bid materials were discussed).
After other business the board voted to recess to executive session at 7:27 p.m. to consider personnel matters pursuant to Wyoming statute 16-4-405 (SEG 1821–1829). The board returned to regular session at about 8:17 p.m. and approved a revised personnel action report by voice vote.
The pavement work will be paid from major maintenance funds, and staff recommended approval of Meadowlark Asphalt’s unit prices as presented. The board approved the pavement maintenance award by voice vote; trustees recorded one dissenting 'no' on the record during the discussion of contract award materials (transcript shows a recorded 'No' by speaker 21 during the vote sequence).
