THE MARTIN COUNTY BOARD ON TUESDAY RELUCTANTLY PULLED BACK A BID AWARD THEY APPROVED AT THEIR LAST MEETING. COMMISSIONERS AWARDED A CONTRACT TO UNITED BUILDERS OF BLUE EARTH FOR THE REMODELING OF THE LAW ENFORCEMENT CENTER IN ORDER TO KEEP THE PROJECT LOCAL. THEIR BID WAS 900 HUNDRED DOLLARS MORE THAN THE LOW BID OF J S CATES CONSTRUCTION OF HAMEL. CATES COMPANY COMPLAINED THAT THEIR BID SHOULD HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED CITING STATE STATUTE THAT CONSTRUCTIONS AWARDS GO THE THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER. THE BOARD WAS ADVISED BY THE COUNTY ATTORNEY THAT THE AWARD OF THE BID TO UNITED BUILDERS COULD BE CONSTRUED AS FAVORITISM. THE BOARD THEN APPROVED THE BID OF J S CATES IN THE AMOUNT OF 94,000 DOLLARS.
