Commission approves small courthouse repair contracts for pressure washing and step/spindle work

Ohio County Commission · May 4, 2026

Summary

Commissioners reviewed and moved to accept low-cost bids for pressure washing ($375) and painting/step/spindle repairs ($1,150), discussed insurance and lead-paint concerns, and directed staff to proceed with the contractors.

County members reviewed two small work orders for courthouse maintenance: a $375 bid for pressure washing from Wilder and a $1,150 bid from Kelly for step, spindle and related repairs and painting.

A member asked whether the contractors carried proof of insurance and workers’ compensation; the board requested verification before finalizing work. One member raised a lead‑paint concern; another replied, “Shouldn’t be there,” and no testing or formal lead mitigation plan was ordered during the discussion.

After discussion about scope — limiting work to steps and spindles and not painting columns — a motion was made and seconded to accept the bids. The motion was recorded in discussion and staff were directed to notify the contractors and request required insurance paperwork. No roll‑call vote tally was recorded in the transcript.
