Ray County approves museum roof, security camera contract and several procurement moves
Summary
Ray County Commissioners approved multiple capital procurements in April 2026, including a $39,560 roof for the Ray County Museum, a security camera contract, rejection and rebid of jail HVAC bids, and procurement authorizations including GSA registration and cooperative purchasing.
Ray County Commissioners approved a series of capital and procurement actions across April meetings.
On April 9 the commission accepted a bid from Victory Technology for the purchase and installation of security cameras for Ray County‑owned buildings. Commissioners noted that cameras installed inside the Ray County Courthouse will be funded from the court system's fund per the judges’ designation; exterior courthouse cameras and cameras at other county buildings will be paid from the County Capital Improvement Fund.
On April 22 the commission accepted Weather Guard’s bid to replace the Ray County Museum roof for $39,560. Earlier, the commission had accepted a bid from Lafayette County Glass Co. for courthouse entry door work and had rejected all HVAC bids for the jail, directing the county to rebid that project. On April 29 the commission voted to waive a bid irregularity and directed Great River Engineering to open a single Homestead Village bid that had been submitted after a deadline.
On April 30 commissioners directed staff to create an RFP for janitorial services, approved a resolution authorizing cooperative purchasing for Gradall equipment, and authorized registering Ray County on the General Services Administration (GSA) website to bid on surplus low‑boy equipment with a maximum bid authorization of $40,000. The commission also authorized engaging a real estate firm located outside Ray County to market the county’s former jail/Humane Society building at 200 South College Street, after a prior sealed‑bid process produced a single withdrawn response.
The transcript does not record contract execution beyond bid acceptance and procurement authorizations; funding sources for noted projects were identified in the meeting (court system fund for interior courthouse cameras, Capital Improvement fund for other cameras and some projects).
