Cottonwood County awards $744,484 courthouse window replacement contract
Summary
The board accepted Murphy Window & Door’s low bid and approved $744,484 for courthouse window replacement plus a $10,000 design services agreement with Engan Associates to provide window-covering architecture for about 93 windows.
The Cottonwood County Board of Commissioners awarded a contract to Murphy Window & Door of Princeton, Minnesota, to replace courthouse windows and approved a related architectural services agreement.
Why it matters: The courthouse window project is a major capital outlay affecting an occupied public building; the county accepted a low bid and authorized design services to ensure window coverings and finishes are consistent with facility needs.
At the April 15 meeting, County Coordinator Kelly Thongvivong reported three bids for the courthouse window replacement: Tristate General Contracting ($993,764 base), Lionheart Building and Consultants ($797,000 base), and Murphy Window & Door ($733,838 base, $10,646 alternate). The board approved awarding the project to Murphy Window & Door for a combined total of $744,484 (base plus alternate) and unanimously accepted Engan Associates’ proposal for architectural services for window coverings at a cost of $10,000. The project includes approximately 93 windows.
The minutes do not break down the contractor’s timeline, payment milestones, or warranty terms; the county’s Coordinator or project manager will carry out contract finalization and oversight.
Next steps: Project scheduling and contract execution were not specified in the minutes; staff will proceed with procurement steps and notify departments about installation timing.
