Kane County selects Advanced Construction for dirt forest project after 14 bids

A competitive bidding process for a new project in Kane County has drawn significant interest, with 14 companies vying for the contract. The county's commitment to quality over cost was highlighted during the recent commission meeting, where officials discussed the selection of Advanced Construction, a firm based in Washington.

The bidding process was described as thorough, with county officials emphasizing the importance of evaluating all aspects of the proposals rather than simply choosing the lowest bid. "I’m really proud of our Kane County team," one official stated, noting the extra effort put in by staff who dedicated their time to ensure a quality selection.

Advanced Construction emerged as the chosen contractor, offering a bid of $5.75 per cubic yard, significantly lower than the next highest bid of $6.35. This decision not only reflects the county's focus on quality but also promises potential cost savings, as Advanced Construction is already engaged in another project in the area.

The enthusiasm surrounding the high number of bids indicates a strong interest in Kane County's development projects, setting a positive tone for future initiatives. As the project moves forward, the county anticipates that the collaboration with Advanced Construction will yield beneficial results for the community.
