Worth County approves stair closure change order and awards landscaping and courthouse maintenance bids
Summary
Supervisors approved a Cresco change order to close an open stairwell and accepted smaller bids for landscaping, courthouse cleanup and sidewalk edging; one landscaping bid from Chad and Landon Nelson was $3,000 and courthouse cleanup and edging bids were $275 and $200 respectively.
The Worth County Board of Supervisors approved several building-and-grounds items including a contractor change order and multiple small bids.
Officials described interior progress on a new office and maintenance facility (CMU walls, mezzanine framing, interior insulation). The board considered a change order from Cresco to add tread closure plates to an originally open stairway so objects could not fall through. A motion to approve the change order passed; the transcript records the change order was discussed and approved but the dollar amount in the record was not clearly stated.
On exterior work, supervisors reviewed competing bids for reworking landscaping beds at the public-health building and courtyard. Premier Outdoors’ original bid was described in the transcript with unclear numeric formatting and a rebid figure that appeared higher; Chad and Landon Nelson submitted a $3,000 bid to remove material, install landscaping fabric (black plastic) and replace river rock. The board voted to approve Chad and Landon Nelson’s landscaping bid along with a $275 bid for courthouse window-well cleanup and shrub trimming and a $200 bid to edge and clean sidewalks.
The chair called for motions and the board approved the items by voice vote.
Why it matters: the decisions fund finishing work on county facilities and set maintenance plans for public-facing buildings. Supervisors prioritized bids that proposed full removal and reinstallation of material rather than a patch repair, and they approved the change that closes a safety hazard on an interior stair.
What’s next: county staff will notify the contractors to schedule the work and the auditor will process the payments under the approved claims.
