Board awards West House exterior work to J & J Painting for $16,000
Summary
After a failed public bid, commissioners awarded a $16,000 contract to J & J Painting to restain (solid-body stain) and paint exterior trim at the West House, directing staff to proceed with the lower-cost option.
Ravalli County commissioners on May 27 awarded a contract to J & J Painting (James Holting) to perform exterior restaining and paint work at the West House for $16,000.
Staff reported the county received no bids through the public request-for-bid process and that J & J Painting provided two price options: a full sanding and restain option at a higher price and a less-expensive restain without sanding. Staff recommended the lower $16,000 option using a solid-body stain; the contractor advised that not sanding would likely reduce the life of the finish in some cases but also said a solid-body stain would address the current issues.
After discussion about whether to paint all trim a single color versus retaining stained wood elements, commissioners moved, seconded and voted to approve the contract for the $16,000 solid-body stain and paint option. Staff will execute the agreement and schedule the work.
