Board authorizes contract for Hoover Ridge maintenance building, sets appropriation

Speaker 5 described the need to replace a red barn that collapsed last winter and outlined procurement options for a new maintenance building at Hoover Ridge. "We went out for bid late last summer. Had 1 bid come back in for 849,000," Speaker 5 said, and later reported a cooperative procurement quote from Loudoun Building Systems for "407,000 for a 60 by 70 foot with a 15 foot eave" plus a $30,000 allowance for groundwork. The presenter said the county found a cooperative procurement mechanism through Louisa County that allowed use of Loudoun Building Systems.
