Ray County tables some bids, accepts plumbing and ranks auto-repair bids; commissioner recuses from motor bid vote
Summary
On March 5 the Commission opened and tabled bids for courthouse entry doors and jail HVAC, tabled an insurance renewal for review, accepted a plumbing bid for the jail, and ranked auto motor bids with Commissioner Bobby Don Davis recusing from that vote.
Ray County Commissioners opened multiple procurement bids on March 5, 2026 and took a mix of tabling and acceptance actions.
The Commission opened two bids for courthouse entry doors and two bids for jail HVAC; Commissioner Max Hockemeier moved to table both items for further research and review, and the motions carried 3-0. Jeff Chronister of Ollis/Akers/Arney presented the property and liability insurance renewal through MoPerm Insurance; Commissioners asked for more time to review the renewal and tabled that item as well.
Later in the meeting previously tabled procurement items were revisited. Commissioner Max Hockemeier moved to un-table auto motor bids; Presiding Commissioner Sheila Tracy seconded. Commissioner Bobby Don Davis recused himself from that vote. The Commission accepted auto motor bids with Richmond Muffler & Auto Repair ranked first and Max Motors second; the motion carried 2-0 (Davis recused).
The Commission also un-tabled and accepted plumbing bids for work at the jail, awarding the plumbing contract to Stockton Builders & Remodeling LLC. The transcript records motions, the recusal, and the recorded outcomes but does not include bid amounts or full contract terms in the public text.
The Commission discussed the former Humane Society building at 200 South College Street and possible uses, and noted upcoming sidewalk work at the courthouse with potential grant opportunities for future building repairs; those topics were discussion items rather than formal awards in the transcript.
