Union County awards $5.78 million contract to L&L Builders for courthouse and sheriff's office expansion
Summary
Union County commissioners unanimously awarded a $5,780,800 base contract (plus a $38,000 alternate) to L&L Builders for a courthouse and sheriff’s office expansion expected to complete by the end of 2027; the board approved the contract by roll call.
The Union County Board of Commissioners voted March 31 to award the Courthouse and Sheriff’s Improvements and Expansion contract to L&L Builders, accepting a base bid of $5,780,800 and alternate #2 for $38,000.
The unanimous roll-call vote — Commissioners Dailey, Ustad, Ballard, Kimmel and Chairman Kevin Joffer all voted "aye" — followed staff recommendations. Project completion is expected by the end of 2027, with an 18-month construction timeline; alternate #1 will be reviewed for up to 30 days.
The board’s motion to accept the low bidder was made by Commissioner Kimmel and seconded by Commissioner Ballard. Treasurer Hertel later met with the board to press IT planning and mitigation concerns that staff will need to address during construction.
The commission recorded the contract award in the minutes and instructed staff to proceed with the contract documents and notice to proceed as required. No financing details or bond measures were recorded in the minutes; funding source specifics were not specified in the meeting record.
The board adjourned at 1:12 p.m.; the courthouse expansion project will return to the commission for any subsequent contract alternates or changes.
