Commissioners award fairgrounds pump‑house contract to Tony UC Carpentry for $40,000 plus tax

Okanogan County commissioners voted to award a pump‑house construction contract at the county fairgrounds to Tony UC Carpentry for $40,000 plus tax after staff presented four phone quotes and supporting documentation.

Why it matters: commissioners said completing the pump‑house is part of fairgrounds infrastructure upkeep and will support irrigation and operations on the property. The meeting record shows pre‑bid quotes were reviewed and made available to the commissioners in advance.

Details and formal action: staff reported receiving four phone quotes and provided copies to commissioners during a staff meeting. A motion to award the project to Tony UC Carpentry for $40,000 plus tax passed with a second; no amendments were recorded. Separately, commissioners approved an ARPA voucher (project 61‑2022) in the amount of $19,367.05 for the Tonka Mountain fire‑hardening project (invoice 17083) and authorized the chair to sign.

Next steps: staff will finalize the contract paperwork and proceed with scheduling the pump‑house construction. The chair was authorized to sign the ARPA voucher related to the fire‑hardening project. Commissioners did not discuss additional scope changes at the meeting.
