Board awards 40×60 concrete pad contract at fairgrounds to Jensys Concrete LLC for $35,400
Summary
Following a review of four bids ranging roughly $31,000–$40,000 and discussion emphasizing rebar and footing quality, the board awarded a 40-by-60 concrete pad contract to Jensys Concrete LLC for $35,400 using county marijuana tax revenue.
Sheriff Eric Ellison presented four bids for a concrete pad project at the fairgrounds that ranged from about $31,000 to $40,000 and described structural differences among bids: the lowest used welded wire mesh and smaller footings, while others specified rebar and larger, deeper footings.
Ellison and board members discussed prior experience with local contractors and emphasized durability. One supervisor recommended avoiding the lowest bid because of the smaller footings and mesh; another noted JBM’s slightly larger footers and rebar use. Ellison said the county has had good results with Yintz (also referenced as Yance/Yance/Yintz in the transcript) but that both JBM and Yintz had strong reviews.
A supervisor moved to award the contract to Jensys Concrete LLC to construct the 40-by-60 concrete pad in the amount of $35,400, noting the use of rebar and past performance as justification. The board approved the motion by voice vote (ayes). Staff and board members confirmed the funding source for this project is marijuana tax revenue held in a county line item; staff characterized it as county fund revenue rather than a grant.
Board members asked about schedule commitments and were told bidders said they could complete the work as soon as site dirt work is done, with several indicating they would prioritize completion before January.
