Kootenai County awards jail generator and transfer-switch contract to Legacy Power Systems; alternate rejected

At a meeting of the Kootenai County Board of Commissioners on April 1, 2025, the board voted to award the county jail generator and transfer-switch contract to Legacy Power Systems and to reject bid alternate No. 1.

The request was presented as a bid award for the jail and building and grounds project. Tom Reed, representing building and grounds for the jail project, said: "This is a request to approve the bid award to Legacy Power Systems, for the base bid and to reject the bid alternate. And I'm just here for any questions." Legal review was noted later in the meeting for related items; no dollar amounts for the Legacy Power Systems bid or alternate were provided in the record.

A motion to award the bid to Legacy Power Systems and to reject bid alternate No. 1 was made and seconded on the record. The board recorded all votes as "aye": Commissioner Eberline voted aye; Commissioner Duncan voted aye; Chair Metari voted aye. The motion carried and the bid award was approved.
