The Grant County commissioners approved a one-year cleaning contract with Comfort Clean LLC during their Jan. 5 meeting.

Administrative executive Beth Winters said the county accepted quotes and recommended Comfort Clean LLC as the cleaning contractor. The agreed contract price is $16,000 per month, paid quarterly — $192,000 annually — and includes a 30-day termination clause for either party. Commissioners confirmed the contractor will provide staff while the county will continue to supply cleaning supplies. Legal counsel reviewed the contract.

Commissioners noted the Commissioner's budget line for cleaning was originally programmed at $175,000 for the year, creating a funding shortfall of $17,000. The chair said he would notify the County Council that the board approved the contract and that the line item will need adjustment or a transfer to cover the difference.

The board approved the contract by voice vote. Commissioners asked staff to direct cleaning concerns to the county’s fix-it email (fixit@grantcounty.in.gov) while the new contractor transitions into service.
