Board proposes pulling west-side concrete from larger contract to secure local quotes
Summary
Officials agreed to remove the west-side courthouse concrete portion from the larger contract because the primary vendor is unavailable until next year; the board moved to solicit three quotes and put that section out for separate bidding to keep the project on schedule.
Unidentified Speaker 1 raised concern that the contractor awarded the overall concrete contract would not be available until next year, which could delay completion of the courthouse west-side concrete work.
To avoid delay, Speaker 1 proposed removing the west-side portion from the original contract and seeking local bids or quotes to complete that portion this year. Speakers discussed the approximate length of the section (estimates of 30 or 50 feet were mentioned), potential seating and landscaping for the newly completed area and the board’s plan to solicit three quotes.
Speaker 1 noted a local vendor (named in the transcript as Lobo) had been the winner of a portion of the contract and that if Lobo cannot complete its portion until next year, pulling the west section out would let the remainder of the project continue on schedule. The board moved to remove the west-side section from the original contract and put it out for separate quotes; a second is recorded in the transcript, but the provided segments do not include an explicit vote tally or a formal 'Motion carries' statement for this motion.
The transcript ends shortly after the motion and second; staff was instructed to obtain three quotes and return with details for contracting and scheduling.
