Somerset authorizes Jamie Steel Construction to repair City Hall columns
Summary
Commissioners approved reopening a previous quote and authorized Jamie Steel Construction to repair the columns at City Hall, with discussion noting a separate $880 demolition line and that the contractor’s schedule had previously been months out.
The Somerset City Commission voted Oct. 3 to authorize repairs to columns at City Hall by Jamie Steel Construction after reopening a quote presented at the Sept. 19 meeting.
Speaker 5 summarized prior outreach for bids and said the commission had tried to obtain other quotes but had limited responses. Discussion referenced a separate demolition line of roughly $880 included in the quote and uncertainty about the contractor’s earliest availability; Speaker 6 said earlier vendor communication had suggested long lead times for one alternative contractor.
Speaker 4 moved to approve the Jamie Steel Construction quote for the City Hall repairs; after discussion the motion carried. No final contract amount beyond references to the quoted items was read into the record during the meeting.
Speaker 6 noted a warranty would come with the work and described materials and labor considerations; commissioners asked staff to confirm final pricing details and scheduling with the contractor.
The commission did not provide a line-by-line contract amount in the public discussion and directed staff to follow up to confirm any changes to the quote and scheduling.
