Greenup County to advertise sealed bids for new public safety building
Summary
The Greenup County Fiscal Court approved advertising sealed bids to build a combined public safety building at the Lowell Volunteer Fire Department site, a project county leaders said will replace outdated facilities and serve the volunteer fire department and ambulance authority.
The Greenup County Fiscal Court voted to advertise sealed bids for construction of a new public safety building at the current Lowell Volunteer Fire Department site, the court said during its regular session.
Presiding officer said the facility will serve both the Lowell Volunteer Fire Department and the Greenup County Ambulance Authority and called it “a long awaited investment in the safety of our residents.” Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to advertise for competitive construction bids; the motion carried on a voice vote.
Court members said the project responds to years of aging facilities for local first responders. The fiscal court said it intends to select a contractor after the competitive process and move the project toward construction, though a construction schedule and funding sources were not specified in the meeting discussion.
The action is procedural: advertising for bids does not award a contract. The court did not take a final construction contract vote at this meeting; commissioners said they would return with contractor selection once bids are received and evaluated.
