Marion council approves $28,640 Comfort Zone bid to insulate new sewer department shop
Summary
The Marion council unanimously approved a $28,640 low bid from Comfort Zone to spray-foam R-14 insulation across walls and ceiling of a roughly 9,000-square-foot sewer department shop, finalizing the last phase of the building conversion.
Mayor Absher and council members voted unanimously to approve the low bid of $28,640 from Comfort Zone to apply spray-foam insulation throughout the new sewer department shop.
Todd Marks, introduced by council staff as representing the sewer department, described the project as converting an existing large city building into a final-phase shop. "We've been in the process of creating a new shop," Marks said, noting that electrical work and two roll-up garage doors are complete. Marks asked the council to approve spray-foam insulation for the walls and ceiling.
Council members asked technical questions before the vote. A council member asked whether both bids specified an R-value; Marks confirmed both bids called for R-14 and that the insulation would cover walls and ceiling for approximately 9,000 square feet. Following those clarifications, a council member moved to accept the low bid from Comfort Zone and the motion was seconded and passed by unanimous roll call.
The vote closes the procurement for the insulation portion of the project; the council did not identify any amendments or conditions tied to the award. The meeting record shows the action was taken as a routine procurement approval and no additional funding sources or budget adjustments were specified.
