Commission awards courthouse sewer-line replacement to lower bidder

The Jackson County Commission approved an award for the sewer-line replacement associated with the courthouse renovation at its July 28 meeting after staff presented two written quotes. Staff said Brickley Plumbing and Electric submitted a quote of $40,050, while Leadville Services (listed in the packet) provided a quote of $23,950 for the work at the West Hills office portion of the project. Following the staff presentation, a commissioner moved to award the sewer-line project to the contractor identified in the meeting record as the lower-quoted bidder; the motion carried. The public meeting record does not include detailed contract language, a roll-call vote breakdown for the motion, or a signed contract price beyond the quoted amounts presented by staff. Staff did not discuss project start dates or warranty terms during the public discussion. The commission approved the award during the new-business portion of the meeting; staff will proceed with contract execution consistent with county procurement procedures and present any required contract documents in subsequent records.
