Winneshiek County sets March 30 public hearing to consider sale of old DHS building; bids due March 26
Summary
The county scheduled a public hearing for March 30 at 10:30 a.m. on the proposed sale of the old DHS building; bids for the property must be submitted by 4 p.m. on March 26, and the board kept the bid process open with no minimum floor.
Winneshiek County supervisors set a public hearing for 10:30 a.m. on March 30 to consider the sale of the county's old Department of Human Services (DHS) building and approved bid procedures that specify bids will be due by 4:00 p.m. on March 26.
County staff said the process mirrors a prior bid round and that the bid packet allows the board to accept or reject any and all bids; there is no required minimum floor bid in the paperwork. Board members asked staff to correct an inconsistent bid form date (one place listed bids due March 30 instead of March 26); staff said an updated bid form would be circulated.
The board approved the public-hearing date and bid procedures by unanimous vote. Officials said the March 26 deadline will allow the county to present bid totals to supervisors before the March 30 hearing so the board can consider the public hearing input and the bids at one meeting.
What happens next: County staff will publish bid materials with corrected dates, receive and tabulate bids by March 26, and present the results at the March 30 public hearing for the board to accept or reject bids.
