Otter Tail Invites Bids for State Aid Project SAP 056 608 032

Otter Tail County today opened a formal bidding period for state aid project SAP 056 608 032, with sealed bids being received through 1:00 PM on Thursday, November 27, 2025. The notice to bidders was posted by the Otter Tail County Highway Department and directs interested contractors to consult the county bid posting page for the complete solicitation package. That package contains plan sheets, submission requirements, and any schedule or pre bid meeting information that firms must follow to participate.

The procurement follows standard public bidding procedures for county managed state aid projects, meaning the county is soliciting competitive proposals from contractors to carry out work defined in the project plans. For local contractors, the solicitation represents a direct opportunity to compete for public work and to support construction activity within the county. For residents and taxpayers, the bid process triggers decisions that will affect road maintenance, traffic management, and project timelines in the months after an award.

Because the notice requires sealed bids, firms should review the submission requirements carefully on the bid posting page to ensure compliance with format and delivery rules. The solicitation package will also identify any pre bid meeting dates and location information if one is scheduled. Adherence to those procedural details is essential to ensure bids are considered.

The county’s posting is the starting point for transparency in project selection and contract award. Local officials will evaluate bids according to the criteria in the solicitation and award a contract in line with state aid funding rules and county procurement policy. Residents concerned about project scope, timing, cost or contractor selection should monitor the county bid posting page and subsequent contract award notices to hold decision makers accountable.

Contractors seeking the documents should access the Otter Tail County bid posting page immediately to download the full solicitation and plan sheets and to confirm any logistical steps required for a compliant sealed bid submission before the 1:00 PM deadline on Thursday, November 27, 2025.
