Board reviews wide range of cleanup quotes for Bonanza property, directs adherence to procurement safeguards
Summary
Property Manager Terry Wells reviewed Bonanza cleanup quotes ranging from about $6,500 to nearly $90,000; the Board emphasized itemized quotes, prior approval for change orders, and adherence to county contracting guidelines.
Terry Wells, Klamath County property manager, briefed the Board on quotes received to clean up the Bonanza property. Wells said the lowest quote was roughly $6,500 and the highest near $90,000, attributing the range to differences in contractor overhead and scale (smaller operators versus larger firms).
Wells confirmed that quotes were detailed and itemized and that staff contacted contractors for clarifications when needed. He also said the contract would require prior board approval for any change orders, a provision intended to prevent unplanned cost increases. Commissioner Minty stressed the importance of itemized requests for quotes to ensure fair comparison and transparency; the Board expressed support for proceeding under county guidelines.
No formal motion or vote was recorded in the transcript for awarding a cleanup contract at this meeting; the Board’s comments indicated support for moving forward with the procurement process as presented.
