Good afternoon. I'm Jason Bloodgood, and this is Jamie Paris. And we represent the equipment division of Skagit County Public Works. We are here today to open bids for our o 1 oil tank cleaning. This tank will be used by the road department.

"We've received 1 bid from Clean Harbors. And the bid amount is $72,492," said Jason Bloodgood, who identified himself as representing the Equipment Division of Skagit County Public Works. He said staff will review the bid results and post them on the county website by the end of the week.

The bid opening produced a single bidder: Clean Harbors, with a total bid of $72,492 for oil tank cleaning services to be used by the county road department. Staff said they plan to complete their review and have an award resolution signed by the Skagit County commissioners on or before May 19.

No formal vote or award was recorded at the bid opening; staff characterized the meeting as the public reading of bids and a step toward a later commissioners' action. The county did not provide additional details in the meeting transcript about contract length, procurement number, or budget line to be used; those details were described as to be posted on the county website.

Separately in the meeting, an attendee noted that "$150,000,000 for the culverts up there on Friday Creek," and said that represented a large change in operating dollars; no formal action on culvert work was recorded in the bid-opening segment.

Staff contact information and the posted bid results on the county website will provide the official record when the review and commissioners' signature are complete.
