Chickasaw County Board awards $797,055 contract to replace courthouse windows

The Chickasaw County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on June 1 to award a contract to Steege Construction in the amount of $797,055 to replace windows at the Chickasaw County Courthouse. The action followed a public hearing held pursuant to Iowa Code §26.12 and public notice as provided in Iowa Code §362.3.

The resolution (No. 06-01-26-34) authorizes the county to enter the contract and directs the board chair to sign any documents necessary to facilitate the project. The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Supervisor Cerwinske and seconded by Supervisor Breitbach; the minutes record the vote as Ayes — Cerwinske, Breitbach, Carter, Suckow and Hackman.

The resolution and supporting documents are on file with the Auditor’s office and posted on the county website. The minutes do not specify a contractor schedule or expected completion date; the board’s action authorizes the contract amount and execution only. Further project scheduling, permitting or inspection steps were not described in the meeting minutes.

Next steps recorded in the minutes: the Chair is authorized to sign contract documents and the county will proceed with administrative steps to implement the public improvement. Any future updates to schedule, payments, or change orders were not included in the June 1 minutes.
