Greene County commissioners take bids under advisement, approve multiple contracts and addenda
Summary
At a regular session, commissioners took courthouse repair bids under advisement, approved a Purdue Extension agreement, a community corrections tablet addendum, a certificate-sale resolution and addendum, snow-removal and generator maintenance agreements, and authorized treasurer signoff on a bank fraud-prevention contract pending review.
Greene County commissioners met in regular session and moved on a series of routine procurement and contract items, taking two bids for courthouse exterior repairs under advisement and approving a slate of agreements and addenda by voice vote.
The meeting opened with a bid opening for the courthouse exterior repair. Two bids were read into the record: Brody Campbell Inc. (base bid $231,100; alternates reported up to $605,740) and Wells Masonry and Restoration (base bid $134,000; alternates reported up to $201,500). The board voted to take the bids under advisement, asked county staff and the engineer to evaluate paperwork and pricing, and authorized award to the lowest responsible bidder if appropriate.
Commissioners approved a set of contracts and addenda, each by motion and voice vote. The board approved the Purdue Extension agreement after staff confirmation that Purdue would not change contract language and that the commissioners retain hiring authority. A Community Corrections (CPC) addendum to provide upgraded tablets for participants was approved; county staff said leasing fees and participant charges would absorb most costs and that the tablets could carry office-specific content. The board approved Resolution 2025-15 expressing intent for a commissioner's certificate sale and a related certificate sale services addendum for 2026 to SRI.
Other approvals included an EMS snow-removal agreement that sets a two-inch automatic-response trigger so crews can plan for calls; and two Lionheart generator maintenance agreements covering county generators (jail, annex, courthouse and fairgrounds) with the EMS generator bid separately so it can align with EMS budgeting. The motion approving the maintenance agreements included authorization for the county president to sign the final agreements after staff finalize paperwork.
The treasurer requested permission to implement a "positive pay" service with First Financial Bank (noted fee: $40 per month) to help detect fraud. Commissioners authorized the treasurer to sign the agreement once county counsel (Marvin) and staff have reviewed and approved it.
Where actions were recorded, the board handled them as voice votes with motions and seconds; the transcript records commissioners responding "All in favor," and staff indicated no opposition during those items.
The meeting concluded with announcements and adjournment; the next regular meeting was set for Dec. 2 at 9:30 a.m.
