Polk County awards Bridal Barn roofing work, schedules grandstand bid and museum tuck‑pointing
Summary
Facility staff said replacing the Bridal Barn roof came in under budget, the DD Kennedy Bridal project was awarded to Larson Construction with a November start, the grandstand bid will open next week, and museum tuck‑pointing is estimated at about $60,000–$70,000.
Polk County facility staff reported several facility projects in progress and planned work at the county fairgrounds and museum.
Staff said replacing the Bridal Barn roof with steel was less expensive than other options and that the project is under budget. A separate update said the DD Kennedy Bridal project has been awarded to Larson Construction with a tentative November start date.
The county expects to open bids for a new grandstand next week and said it will post the bid opening publicly. Facility staff also estimated tuck‑pointing and brick repairs at the county museum will cost roughly $60,000 to $70,000.
Staff described additional facility work: fencing the bins at the West Side recycling center for 24‑7 coverage and upgrades related to a fiber sort line. No formal vote for these projects was recorded in the meeting minutes excerpted in the transcript; staff said bids will be advertised and contracts awarded through the county’s procurement process.
Discussion: Commissioners asked about budget impacts and timelines; staff said the Bridal Barn roof replacement came in cheaper than budgeted and that they will report back when contracts are fully executed.
Ending: Staff asked board members to direct procurement questions to the facilities office and said forthcoming agenda packets will include bid results and contract awards.
