Commission approves $59,369.34 emergency repair contract for sheriff's Special Operations and Work Detail buildings
Summary
Under the county's emergency purchases authority, commissioners approved a $59,369.34 contract with Superior Metal Buildings to repair two county sheriff's office structures damaged during Hurricane Helene; staff said work is 50% complete.
The Lowndes County Commission approved an emergency repair contract for the Sheriff's Office Special Operations Division building and the Work Detail building, awarding work to Superior Metal Buildings for $59,369.34.
Staff said both buildings sustained damage during Hurricane Helene. County staff filed insurance claims and followed FEMA procurement procedures; an insurance adjuster and an engineer inspected the site. Under the county's emergency-purchase policy, staff obtained two quotes from pre-engineered metal-building companies and issued a notice to proceed to Superior Metal Buildings. Staff reported the work is already about 50% complete and asked the commission to approve the $59,369.34 expenditure to cover the repairs.
A commissioner moved to approve the bid from Superior Metal Buildings, a second was recorded, and the commission approved the request by voice vote.
Minutes and staff materials referenced in the presentation were not included in the public hearing record in the transcript excerpt, and the transcript does not specify whether the county's insurance or FEMA funding will cover the full amount or what remaining insurance reimbursement steps remain.
