Sioux County advances courthouse lighting and asbestos work; roof claim under review
Summary
Over several meetings in 2020 the county advanced plans for courthouse lighting, approved an asbestos survey, received roofing insurance adjuster input and opened multiple contractor bids for lighting and roof work.
Sioux County commissioners reviewed and advanced several capital and facility projects related to the courthouse during 2020.
Architect Jerry Berggren conducted a walkthrough and reviewed lighting project plans with commissioners in February; subsequent meetings opened electrical contractor bids and forwarded them to the architect for review. In May the board awarded the courthouse asbestos survey to MCS Engineering for the entire facility. Later in the year, the county discussed an insurance claim for the courthouse roof; an insurance adjuster and a roofing contractor provided details by phone and the board asked for contractor quotes.
At a November 16 special meeting, two lighting bids were opened (Triangle Electric and Snell Services); the bids were accepted and forwarded to the project architect for review. The minutes also show acceptance of roof repair bids pending additional information and a review of contractor proposals — the board asked staff to gather further details before proceeding.
Actions recorded include awarding the asbestos survey, receiving and forwarding lighting bids to the architect, and tabling roof repairs pending full bid evaluation and insurance deductible clarification. The minutes do not record final completion of lighting or roof repairs within the period covered.
