Greenup County opens bids for Public Safety Building; lowest base bid $936,980
Summary
At a March 24 special meeting, Greenup County officials opened bids for a Public Safety Building serving the volunteer fire department and county ambulance authority. Wolf Contracting submitted the lowest announced base bid at $936,980; the court moved to accept the bids into the record for award by March 27, 2026.
At a special Greenup County meeting on March 24, 2026, officials opened sealed bids for a proposed Public Safety Building intended to serve the county’s volunteer fire department and the county ambulance authority. The chair told attendees the contract would be awarded by the close of business, 4:30 p.m., Friday, March 27, 2026.
Derek Bradley, who read several of the submissions, announced a lump-sum bid of $946,500 from Mulholland Construction. The chair then read Wolf Contracting’s base bid price of $936,980. Lee read a larger bid from General Contracting Services, which the record lists as a $1,394,000 lump-sum base price plus an additional listed add-on of $42,686; portions of the alternate/line-item text in the transcript are unclear.
The chair moved to accept the opened bids into the court’s record for consideration; the motion was seconded (the record states "Second by both Lee and Derek") and the presiding officer called for a vote. The board responded "Aye," and the chair announced, "Ayes have it." No roll-call tally or dissenting votes were stated on the record.
The chair had announced earlier that the winning bidder and contracting award decisions were to be completed by Friday, March 27, 2026. The transcript records each bid amount as read into the record but does not include written bid forms or award paperwork; the county’s procurement office will complete the formal award process and post the contract award separately, per the chair’s statement.
Why it matters: The chosen contractor will build a facility intended to consolidate public-safety functions for volunteer firefighters and the ambulance authority; the cost differences among the bidders range in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars, which will influence the county’s contracting and budget decisions ahead of the stated award deadline.
What’s next: The chair said the contract will be awarded by the close of business on March 27, 2026. The transcript contains the bid figures read into the record; the county must publish the formal award notice and contract documents for the procurement to be final.
