Ray County amends prior action to solicit demolition bids for Henrietta Overpass; commissioner recuses
Summary
The Ray County Court amended a March motion to authorize soliciting demolition bids for the Henrietta Overpass Bridge because the projected cost exceeds the threshold requiring bidding; Commissioner Max Hockemeier recused from that vote; record shows the motion carried 2-0.
Ray County Commissioners voted to amend an earlier March 19 motion to allow county staff to solicit bids for demolition of the Henrietta Overpass Bridge after projected costs exceeded the non‑bidding threshold.
Commissioner Max Hockemeier moved to amend the March 19 motion; Commissioner Bobby Don Davis seconded. The record indicates Commissioner Hockemeier recused himself from the subsequent action and that the amended motion carried by a 2-0 tally. The commission instructed staff to proceed with soliciting demolition bids because the projected cost now triggers a formal bidding process.
The transcript does not record the projected cost figure that pushed the item into the bidding threshold, nor does it state the reason for Commissioner Hockemeier’s recusal. The record also does not include a timeline for advertising or for receipt of bids.
