President Hansen called this meeting for the purpose of discussing the lift station bidding results and how to proceed.
Brandon Smid from Helms Engineering presented four bids for the installation and completion of the new lift station. All bids received were much higher than the budgeted dollar amount for this portion of the project. Brandon explained that he will begin working with the lowest bidder which is TLC Olson Construction in Huron, S.D.
