Madison County commissioners voted to accept the apparent low bidder for replacement of the Rangeland Road (Bridge 107th) deck, contingent on review and approval by the Indiana Department of Transportation.
County engineer Jessica reported seven bids were received through INDOT bidding procedures. She said the engineer's estimate was $2,400,000 and bids ranged from $2,094,000 to $2,857,000; the apparent low bidder named in the presentation was Ponton Contractors of Indianapolis. She asked the board to accept the apparent low bidder "contingent on INDOT's approval" of paperwork and insurance.
Unidentified Speaker moved to accept the apparent low bidder; a second was recorded and the motion carried by voice vote. Jessica said work should start this year and that the contract allows two years for completion, though she expected construction to begin later in the year.
The board did not authorize final contract execution pending INDOT's confirmation of the low bidder's compliance with bidding requirements.
