At 10:00 a.m. on May 6, 2026, officials convened a special meeting to open three sealed bids for the Preeth River Airport runway, taxiway and apron pavement maintenance project and then voted to remand the bids to the airport department for review and recommendation to the board of county commissioners for award.
Staff read the three sealed submissions aloud. The first bid, from American Road Maintenance, listed Schedule A at $115,208 and Schedule B at $56,960.50, for a total of $172,168.50. The second, from Road Products LLC, listed Schedule A at $109,321 and Schedule B at $45,496, for a total of $154,817. The third, from CR Contracting LLC, listed Schedule A at $183,548.50 and Schedule B at $90,666, for a total of $274,214.50.
"That is all 3 bids that we received," the chair said after reading the submissions. Following that, meeting participants moved to remit the bids to the airport department so staff there could review the proposals and bring a recommendation to the board of county commissioners for award. The motion and its second are recorded in the transcript, but the speaker labels in the record do not unambiguously identify who moved and who seconded the motion; the article therefore reports the motion text but does not assign mover/second to a named individual.
A roll call vote was held on the motion. The transcript records 'Yes' votes from Mr. Ford and Mr. Domke; the chair announced the motion passed. The meeting was adjourned at 10:05 a.m.
Next steps: the airport department will review the sealed bids, evaluate compliance with procurement requirements and present a recommendation to the board of county commissioners for contract award. The transcript does not record the department's timeline for that review.
