Dickinson County awards health department roof repair contract to KRH Construction at lowest bid
Summary
The commission accepted KRH Construction’s low bid of $51,862.92 to repair the county health department roof and approved payment for additional, non‑insurance work (amount specified in the motion).
Dickinson County commissioners voted to accept the low bid from KRH Construction to repair the Health Department roof and approved payment for additional non‑insurance work identified during the inspection.
Bid and recommendation: County staff presented two bids for roof work at the Dickinson County Health Department. KRH Construction’s base bid was $51,862.92; an alternative bid from Best Roofing and Remodeling was higher. Staff recommended awarding the work to the lower bidder, KRH Construction, and to include additional non‑insurance repairs related to oversized gable vents that staff said had contributed to leaks.
Commission action: A commissioner moved to accept KRH Construction’s bid for $51,862.92 and to approve payment for the additional outside work not covered by insurance as stated in the motion. A second was recorded and the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: County staff said the oversized gable vents on the building were allowing snow and wind-driven moisture into the attic space, contributing to interior leaks. The smaller vents and siding replacement described by staff are intended to reduce future water intrusion.
Implementation: Staff instructed to proceed with contracting KRH Construction and to include the additional work item as approved; county finance staff will monitor insurance reimbursements for the insurance-covered portion of the tear-off and replacement work.
Ending: The commission approved the award by voice vote; staff will execute the contract and proceed with the repairs.
