Board approves advertising bids to accelerate roof replacement at joint highway facility
Summary
County staff asked the board to accelerate planned 2026 roof replacement at the joint highway facility to 2025; the board authorized advertising for bids with partner cost‑shares among Clay County, the City of Moorhead/Morehead, and MnDOT.
The Clay County Board of Commissioners authorized staff on May 27 to advertise for bids to replace the roof at the joint highway facility in 2025 instead of the previously planned 2026 schedule.
County staff said rising costs and available county funds justified moving the project forward. The county will advertise for bids with a June 24 bid opening and expected return to the board for award on July 1. Staff provided an estimated project cost range of $445,000 to $500,000 and said Clay County’s share would be about 45 percent; the City of Moorhead/Morehead’s share was cited as 22 percent and MnDOT’s share as 33 percent.
Commissioners said the joint project and cost‑sharing arrangement with MnDOT and the city demonstrate how intergovernmental partnerships reduce individual entity costs. The board voted unanimously to advertise for bids.
Clarifying details: staff will advertise for three weeks, open bids on June 24, and return to the board July 1 for award; the county’s share is approximately 45 percent of the estimated $445,000–$500,000 project.
Staff will coordinate bid documents and a construction schedule and return with a contract award recommendation after bids are opened.
