Commissioners review "Snert Stopper" shop door seal quote; staff to return with measurements and itemized pricing
Summary
The board reviewed a product (referred to as "Snert Stopper") to reseal county shop garage doors; staff said the product may reduce heating costs and requested quotes for multiple doors and locations.
Commissioners reviewed a vendor quote for a door-sealing product promoted under the name given in the meeting as "Snert Stopper," intended to reseal garage and shop doors to reduce energy loss and pests.
The presenter said the product was shown at a Minot trade show and reported vendor claims that the seal can yield significant heating and cooling savings (a figure of about 40 percent was mentioned) and included a 25-year warranty according to the vendor's literature. Commissioners asked staff to measure shop and jail garage doors so the vendor could prepare itemized quotes for each door; staff agreed to add "shop garage doors" to the next meeting's agenda with those figures.
Participants noted the product had good reviews and the seller was based in Minnesota. Commissioners asked that quotes be itemized per door and that additional locations with similar issues (other shops in the county) be included so the board could consider multiple installations at once. No purchase or approval was made during the meeting; the board directed staff to obtain measurements, individual line-item quotes and to return the itemized estimates at the next meeting.
