St. Francois County commissioners approve routine procurement bids and small penalty waiver
Summary
Commissioners approved annual procurement bids for asphalt and cleaning supplies and waived $10.47 in penalty and interest for a resident; a separate road overlay bid opening was held with no award.
St. Francois County commissioners approved several routine procurement items on the consent agenda and during the meeting, and they granted a one-time waiver of $10.47 in penalty and interest to a resident.
The board voted to approve the annual bid for asphalt materials and supply; commissioners said two bids were received and accepted for county use. Commissioners also approved the cleaning-supplies bid, awarding line items across two vendors as read at the meeting. During an earlier part of the session the board opened bids for a road-overlay construction project but stated they would not act on those construction bids that day and welcomed bidders to photograph the bid openings.
The board granted a request to waive penalty and interest for Gail Pryor Coleman (account 137660) in the amount of $10.47; a commissioner moved the item, and the motion received a second before the board voted in favor.
Why it matters: The procurement approvals set the vendors and supply path for road maintenance and county operations for the coming months, and the small waiver demonstrates the board’s practice for routine billing adjustments.
At the meeting the commissioners said the asphalt award covers purchases the county will load and place using county crews rather than contracting out paving work. The cleaning-supplies contract covers routine janitorial supplies, including garbage bags and other consumables used by county departments.
Votes at a glance: - Consent agenda: approved (motion and second recorded; board voice vote: "aye" from commissioners present). - Annual asphalt bid: approved (motion and second; two bids accepted; commissioners said the county will purchase asphalt and place it with county crews). - Cleaning-supplies bid: approved (motion and second; two vendors referenced during the vote). - Penalty/interest waiver: approved — Gail Pryor Coleman, account 137660, $10.47 (motion and second; voice vote recorded).
No dollar totals for the asphalt or janitorial contracts were read into the minutes at the time of the vote. The board did not award the road-overlay construction contract at the bid opening; commissioners said they would let the bids "settle" and take action at a later date.
The meeting record shows standard parliamentary procedure: motions, seconds and voice votes. The clerk’s office will hold official bid documents and detailed tabulations for public inspection.
