Floyd County opens three bids for Chase Building; commissioners take bids under advisement
Summary
At a specially scheduled Floyd County Commissioners meeting, officials opened three bids for work on the Chase Building — base bids ranged from $455,345 to $560,000, with optional site/fiber work adding $73,680–$135,000. Commissioners took the bids under advisement; no contract was awarded.
Floyd County commissioners opened and recorded three bids for renovation work on the Chase Building during a specially scheduled meeting. The commissioners did not award a contract; they voted to take the bids under advisement.
Unidentified Speaker 1 announced the single agenda item was opening bids for the Chase Building and noted three bids had been received even though five names had appeared on the sign-in sheet. Unidentified Speaker 2 read the three bids aloud: a base bid of $455,345 from a bidder listed as 'Kefco' (the transcript also uses the spelling 'Kevco'); a base bid of $560,000 from Martin Construction; and a base bid of $538,000 from James L. Shireman Incorporated. Each bid included an Alternative No. 1 to add site work infrastructure and a fiber connection (or, in one instance, 'fiber protection') between buildings, with the alternatives quoted at $73,680, $125,000 and $135,000 respectively.
"I'll entertain a motion to take these under advisement," Unidentified Speaker 1 said before a motion and second were made; movers were not named in the transcript. The recorded response was two "Aye" votes, and the commissioners carried the motion to take the bids under advisement. No public comments were offered, and the meeting was adjourned.
The record shows Commissioner Luke was not present for the meeting. The county did not take any formal action to award a contract or select a bidder at this session; next steps (staff review, recommendation, or scheduling for award) were not specified in the record.
Details from the bid openings are: base bids $455,345, $560,000 and $538,000; Alternative No. 1 additions $73,680, $125,000 and $135,000, described in the transcript as site work infrastructure and fiber connection/protection between buildings. Funding sources, procurement schedule, and contract award timeline were not specified in the meeting transcript.
