In a rare event, last Tuesdayâs low bidder for the Muddy Creek Bridge Project approved by the Linn County Board of Commissioners was disqualified after failing to register to be listed on a âplan holders listâ and turning in a bid that excluded one item and an incorrect quantity on a second bid item.
Linn County Roadmaster Wayne Mink told Commissioners Roger Nyquist, John Lindsey and Sherrie Sprenger Tuesday morning that Carter & Co. from Salem, which has done business with the county on several other occasions, submitted a bid of $840,594.
Second low bidder was Marcum & Sons of Redmond at $856,000. The county engineerâs estimate was $1,090,305.
