Commissioners award $29,229 contract for Hancock County Courthouse shingle roof sections
Summary
The commission awarded the shingle‑roof sections contract for the Hancock County Courthouse to DNS Builders LLC of Des Moines, Maine, for $29,229, citing preference to keep funds local; the contract will be paid from the courthouse maintenance reserve.
The Hancock County Commissioners voted May 5 to award the shingled roof sections contract for the courthouse to DNS Builders LLC of Des Moines, Maine, for $29,229.
Commissioner (speaker 1) recommended selecting DNS Builders to keep more work and money in‑county after noting that Williams Construction’s bid for other roof work was higher. "I feel strongly to keep the money in Yukon County," the commissioner said (transcript spelling/locale in transcript recorded as Hancock County; the comment reflected a local-preference argument). The motion to award the shingled sections contract to DNS Builders LLC was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Staff earlier described the scope: the courthouse has multiple roof sections, including shingled wings and flat areas. Miller (speaker 4) explained the county had completed a 2‑inch base coat on some roads last year and that this work will place a one‑inch finished layer for paving projects; that detail was discussed separately but was part of the procurement agenda that day.
Ending: The contract award was approved; commissioners indicated funding will come from the courthouse maintenance reserve account and will proceed to execution by the county’s contracting process.
