IG City Council has heavy discussion to award bid

Ida Grove City Council held a special meeting on Nov. 30 to discuss awarding of bid on City Hall construction. Heavy discussion was whether to award the lowest bid entered even though Ladwig Construction did not have the bond security legals as of yet. In the last meeting Ladwig said it was in the works to get this bond security for the bid, but as of this day, he still did not have it. The council weighed out the consequences of awarding the bid without the bond security because he was local and they wanted to support local or to award to the next lowest bidder.
