Commission awards medical-complex renovation bid; budget and change-order process clarified
Summary
Fallon County commissioners approved awarding the medical-complex renovation bid to the recommended contractor and agreed to process change orders as they arise; administrative fees and A&E costs were discussed and staff confirmed budget fits within mill-levy funds.
Fallon County staff recommended awarding the medical-complex renovation contract to Sletten following bid evaluation. The finance presentation showed the project fits within the mill-levy funds available and listed architecture-and-engineering fees separately. The bid was recorded in the meeting as "637,000 and $1,800" with A&E fixed fees of $70,000 noted in the spreadsheet delivered to commissioners.
A motion to accept the recommended bidder and the bid proposal was moved and seconded; commissioners voted in favor. County staff explained change orders will arise for items including clinic carpet and long‑term‑care door openers; change orders will be documented with numbers, routed through project staff (Brandon) and returned to the commission for approval as they are processed. "That way it's laid out on a contract," a commissioner said, adding that formal change‑order paperwork keeps the payment trail clear.
Next steps: staff will notify the successful bidder and process change orders as they are submitted for board sign‑off. The commission asked staff to circulate the official award notice once the bidder has been formally notified.
