Summary
Freestone County commissioners approved a staff recommendation to proceed with a roof replacement project for the county clerk's building and Annex 3 after receiving three tightly clustered bids; the low bid reported was $207,325 from American Roofing.
Freestone County commissioners voted April 10 to proceed with a roof-replacement project for the county clerk's building and Annex 3 after staff presented three closely matched bids.
The Chair said staff asked bidders to include full demo work where needed and to remove and cap a leaking skylight at the county clerk's building. "We asked the top three to rebuild," the Chair said, explaining the county revised bid requests so the quotes would be apples-to-apples. Staff reported the lowest responsive bid was from American Roofing at $207,325; the other two bids were within roughly $329 to $1,000 of that figure.
Staff told commissioners the project scope includes removing multiple existing roof layers and addressing water infiltration that has been affecting the county's solar room. Commissioners discussed contractor references and past local jobs completed by the bidders before moving to action.
A motion and second were made to accept the recommendation provided by staff; the court announced "Motion carried" without a recorded roll-call tally in the transcript. The Chair asked staff to provide a follow-up report once work begins.
The contract award was approved during the April 10 public meeting; specific contract documents, vendor award letters and any executed contract were not included in the transcript and were described as forthcoming.
