Five bids, ranging from $884,000 to $1.65 million, were submitted to the Coeur d’Alene Wastewater Department for the Mill River Station upgrade project. Director Mike Anderson told the General Services/Public Works Committee on Monday that he selected Big Sky ID Corp. as the general contractor. 

“The bid went out per Idaho code — we've got several bids — and Big Sky came in at the lowest,” Anderson said. “This is part two of the Mill River Lift Station project. We had already built the station, but not to full scale. The original building was smaller because of the way the pumps worked — it wasn’t efficient to run it with bigger pipes and bigger pumps when there wasn't a lot of flow.”
