Curry County approves $123,937 contract to repair Port Orford transfer station
Summary
Commissioners approved Sleep Construction’s bid, funded from restricted waste-and-recycling funds, to make five-year repairs to the Port Orford transfer station.
Curry County commissioners approved a $123,937 contract with Sleep Construction to repair the Port Orford transfer station, citing safety risks and the need for an expedited repair.
County staff told the board the transfer station building is in advanced disrepair, with portions of the building at risk of blowing off in winter and creating hazards for users. The board considered two responsive bids (one from Sleep Construction and another from a bidder identified as Dave Hoover) and staff recommended Sleep Construction’s proposal because it included engineering and more detailed scope information.
Staff said the recommended work is a short-term safeguard expected to protect the building for about five years rather than a permanent reconstruction. Commissioners discussed the potential for change orders with the less-detailed bid and preferred the more complete proposal to limit unknowns and expedite repairs.
The board approved the motion to accept Sleep Construction’s bid and fund the work from restricted waste-and-recycling funds. Votes were recorded as "Commissioner Coker: Aye," "Commissioner Hollinger: Yes," and a third commissioner voting "I as well." County staff directed procurement to proceed with Sleep Construction and to begin scheduling the work immediately.
