Board approves revised livestock building plans and directs staff to put project to bid
Loading...
Summary
The board approved a scaled-down livestock building design (80x150 enclosed steel plus two smaller buildings) and authorized staff to prepare bid documents and solicit contractors.
The Stark County Park Board approved revised plans for a livestock building complex and authorized staff to prepare a bid package to solicit construction bids.
Neil, board member, told the meeting the board previously considered four layout options and chose option 4: an 80-by-150-foot enclosed steel building (about 12,000 square feet) plus two smaller 30-by-100-foot or 30-by-96-foot buildings. "We agreed to proceed with looking at option 4 which is the 80 by 150 enclosed building steel and then 2 smaller 30 by 100..." Neil said.
Corey, board member, made the motion to approve the adjusted plans and move them to bid; Paul seconded. Corey later confirmed he made the motion and Paul seconded; the board voted in favor and the motion carried.
Board members confirmed the plan is code‑compliant after staff consultations with Leonard and Terry (county building/inspection staff). Members asked about show-ring dimensions (40 by 60 feet was described as adequate) and door heights; staff said the design allowed 20-foot sidewalls and larger overhead door openings as needed. The building will have dirt floors with a concrete wash pad and four overhead doors plus walk-in doors.
Staff will work with Lisa Heizer, staff member, to assemble plumbing, electrical and structural specifications for the bid packet and set a reasonable bid deadline. No contract award was made at the meeting; the board only authorized solicitation of bids.
