Commissioners award RFP 2025‑001 for Public Works steel building to M & R Construction
Summary
The board voted 5–0 to award RFP 2025‑001 for a public works steel building to M and R Construction of North Florida Inc.; funding will come from the public works contingency reserve rather than the prior line item, and the board approved the award by roll call.
During the April 1 meeting the Board of County Commissioners moved to award RFP 2025‑001 for a steel building for the Public Works mechanic fleet shop to M and R Construction of North Florida Inc.
Motion and vote: Commissioner Sponer moved to award the bid; Commissioner Andrews seconded. The board approved the motion by a 5–0 roll‑call vote.
Cost and funding: Commissioners discussed the total cost figure during the meeting. County staff stated the base bid amount as $328,120 (presented during the discussion as “328,120”). Earlier budget paperwork had included $106,000 that had rolled over from the prior fiscal year; staff clarified that because last year’s budget item rolled over the full purchase will instead be funded from the public works reserve for contingency. The board approved the award with the revised funding method; the commission record shows the award motion carried by unanimous vote.
What it does: County staff said the building will house the county fleet mechanic shop and include one office and one bathroom; it is not sized for other functions. The project is intended to centralize vehicle maintenance for county departments.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with contract award paperwork to M and R Construction and implement the project using contingency reserve funds as discussed.
