Commissioners grant discretionary exemption, authorize repair work on Copperas Cove annex roof after reporting multiple leaks
Summary
The court approved a discretionary-exemption order to bypass competitive bidding and authorized repairs to the annex building (probation office) in Copperas Cove after commissioners reported at least seven active leaks and water damage.
Coryell County commissioners approved a court order granting a discretionary exemption to competitive bidding and authorized repair or replacement work on the annex building roof (the probation office in Copperas Cove) after commissioners reported multiple active leaks.
Commissioner Basham described visible water damage and seven leaks in the building and told the court the condition worsened during recent rains. The commissioner said he had obtained preliminary quotes and recommended moving forward rather than issuing a time-consuming RFP while the county is in rainy season.
A motion to approve the court order granting the discretionary exemption (recorded in the packet as court order CC 25-03) was made by Commissioner Matthews and seconded by Commissioner Basham; the motion carried by voice vote. No contractor award was announced at the meeting; the exemption permits the county to select a vendor without standard competitive bidding for this immediate repair.
Court members noted an insurance deductible estimate discussed during the session; county staff will proceed under the discretionary exemption and return with contracting details or a purchase order as required.
