Commissioner Musgrave: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: Good afternoon, Ms. Freeman.

Linda Freeman: How are you this afternoon?

President Nix: Good afternoon.

Linda Freeman: We would like to open the bids that were received. I think we received two on the Kelly Ditch project. Basically, if he opens those and they look like they’re in order, I would like to go ahead and possibly award to the lowest and best bidder.

President Nix: I will entertain a motion to open the bids.

Commissioner Musgrave: So moved.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor.

All Commissioners: Aye.

President Nix: While Mr. Ziemer is doing that, you had one other item? Or, is that it?

Linda Freeman: That’s it. I brought my calculator so we can just double check their math.

President Nix: Okay, Mr. Ziemer, would you like to read the bids please?

Ted C. Ziemer, Jr.: Certainly, for the Kelly Ditch we have two bids, Mark Naas, $3,009.60. The second bid is from Stemaly, S-t-e-m-a-l-y, $12,440. That’s the two bids.

Linda Freeman: In consideration that Mark Naas has done previous work for us satisfactorily, I would like to award the bid to Mr. Naas, if, it was $1.98 a foot versus $8.18 a foot. Yeah, you know, they got the same specs.

Commissioner Musgrave: Motion to award the bid as suggested by the Deputy Surveyor.

Commissioner Tornatta: Second.

President Nix: All in favor?

All Commissioners: Aye.

Linda Freeman: Thank you.

President Nix: Thank you.

President Nix: Any public comment? If not?
