County awards Health & Human Services garage rehab to Bishop Brothers; motion carries unanimously
Summary
The Infrastructure Committee recommended awarding a rehabilitation contract for a storage/garage at the Health & Human Services campus to Bishop Brothers after four bids; staff said the building is 28 by 88 feet (about 2,500 sq ft) and will receive new roofing, gutters, paint and lighting to extend lifetime.
The Infrastructure Committee advanced a bid award for a garage/storage building at the Health & Human Services campus to Bishop Brothers after a public bid process. Staff described the work as a rehabilitation — new roofing (25-year shingles), soffit, fascia, gutters, painting and lighting improvements — intended to extend the building’s useful life.
Kyle told the committee the building is about 28 by 88 feet, roughly 2,500 square feet, and said the county received four qualified bids on July 24; Bishop Brothers submitted the low bid. Kyle noted the contractor is also finishing the probation remodel. When asked whether the work would make the building usable for 10–20 years, Kyle said the structure is “very solid” and that the selected roofing has a 25-year warranty; he said it “should outlast you and I.”
The committee moved and seconded the item (mover recorded as Sharon, second Marsha in the transcript) and voted; the chair stated the motion carried unanimously. Staff said the building will be keyed like other county buildings and will store equipment and maintenance materials; it is not intended to hold sensitive records or materials.
Less critical details: the second-low bid was Zobrist from Morton and the price difference between the low and second-low bid was described as $92 in the presentation. The committee did not request additional study before awarding the work.
