#1. Public Participation – There was none.

#2. Approval of Agenda – Mel made a motion to approve the Agenda. Ed seconded. None opposed. Motion passed.

#3. Discussion and Decision on Bids Received for NDOT Valve Relocation Project, Award Bid – 2 Bids were received on this project. Jack Norberg presented the Board with the Summary of Proposals Received and their (NCE’s) Bid Award Recommendation (See Attachment A). Rapid Construction’s bid of $32,230.00 came in the lowest. Rapid’s license is good and their company is eligible for bidding on this type of project. Therefore, NCE recommends award of bid to Rapid Construction Inc. Ed asked Jack if he had worked with Rapid before? Jack said that the Vice President of Rapid actually helped out with work done on our previous line replacement project. Jack said Rapid is a local company based out of Moundhouse and Carson City. Jaimee asked “Why the Variation in bids?” Jack said Rapid was closer to straight up pricing. Jack told the Board they have the amended Encroachment Permit in-hand from NDOT and work could begin within 2 weeks. Mel made a motion to award the job to Rapid Construction Inc. based on their bid of $32,230.00. Ed seconded. None opposed. Motion passed. SGID Chairman, Patrick McIntyre signed the agreement.
