Commission approves pig barn construction quotes, excludes pens from project
Summary
Commissioners approved moving forward with a pig barn project using AW Hunt and Pryor Mountain Electric quotes totaling $179,230 (red iron option), with the motion explicitly excluding permanent pens; final Pryor Mountain Electric pricing remains pending.
The Big Horn County Commission voted Feb. 18 to proceed with a pig barn building project at the county fairgrounds using the red iron construction recommendation from Facilities Manager Jeremy Pouska.
Pouska presented quotes and said he would confirm contractors included state plan review in their bids. Commissioner Bruce Jolley moved to proceed with Pouska’s recommendations and the quotes from AW Hunt ($179,230) and Pryor Mountain Electric (option II), pending final Pryor Mountain Electric pricing; Jolley’s motion explicitly excluded pens so the structure could be used for other purposes in the future. The motion was seconded and carried.
Pouska said a less expensive pole barn option lacks the longevity of red iron construction and raised concerns about electricity for pens if fans were needed. Commissioners asked to consult the Fair Board before finalizing contracts. No vote tallies were recorded in the minutes; the motion was recorded as seconded and carried.
Next steps: Pouska will confirm contract details, including state plan review and final Pryor Mountain Electric pricing, and coordinate with the Fair Board before signing contracts.
