Board awards $20,000 to Diamond J Welding for fairgrounds arena upgrades
Loading...
Summary
The Board approved reconstruction work at the Greenlee County Fairgrounds primary rodeo arena, awarding Diamond J Welding up to $20,000 to rebuild roping chutes, build a stripping chute and create an alleyway to widen barrel-racing space.
Public Works staff requested permission to complete upgrades at the Greenlee County Fairgrounds primary rodeo arena, including reconstructing header boxes, adding a stripping chute for team ropers, and creating a central alleyway for barrel racers. Staff noted that local provider Diamond J Welding has completed prior work for the county and provided the lowest bid for the current scope.
Staff said Diamond J’s operator has rodeo experience and knowledge relevant to arena design; the work will be coordinated so that multiple upgrades can be completed during a single mobilization to reduce costs. The board approved awarding the contract to Diamond J Welding in an amount not to exceed $20,000.
Staff indicated a later purchase of panel fencing will be considered separately to create a permanent barrier between spectator and participant areas.
