Benzie County rescinds prior animal-control sewer contract and approves Kerby Backhoe for up to $52,000
Summary
The board rescinded a Sept. 26 approval and approved a new Kerby Backhoe proposal, not to exceed $52,000, to complete Animal Control water and sewer work; funding will come from ARPA and capital funds.
The Benzie County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 10 rescinded its prior authorization for AJ Excavating and approved a new proposal from Kerby Backhoe to perform animal-control water and sewer work, authorizing the project at a cost not to exceed $52,000 and identifying ARPA and county capital funds as the source.
Commissioner Nye moved to rescind the Sept. 26 approval and to accept Kerby Backhoe's proposal; Commissioner Jeannot seconded. The board voted unanimously in favor (Jeannot, Markey, Nye, Roelofs, Warsecke; Commissioners Cunningham and Sauer excused).
The motion explicitly replaces the earlier contractor authorization and directs county staff to use ARPA and capital funds to cover the cost. No additional project scope or timeline details were provided in the meeting minutes; the board did not record objections or abstentions.
The board's action closes the prior approval from Sept. 26 and establishes Kerby Backhoe as the vendor for the water/sewer portion of the animal-control facility project, subject to normal procurement and payment processes.
