The low bid for a geothermal system may not make the agenda of Thursday’s Scott Emergency Communication Center board when the board is expected to approve the $7.28 million construction project.
The bids were fairly broad, ranging from the low bid of $298,555 to $444,550, said Dave Donovan, Scott County director of facility and support services. One contractor expressed concerns on the specifications. The project is budgeted at $400,000.
A meeting with the contractor is scheduled for Thursday, potentially knocking it off the agenda for the SECC board meeting at 5 p.m. He also plans to talk to the project engineer to see if a delay would cause any problems in construction.
“We may pull it just to do due dilligence on this,” Donovan said.
The low bid was submitted by Barker Lemar, of West Des Moines. No local companies submitted bids.
