Howard County approves $57,000 contract to repair courthouse steps
Summary
Howard County commissioners approved a $57,000 contract with Pioneer Restoration to repair and replace damaged granite and concrete steps at the county courthouse, to be paid from account 1138.47241 ('Kumcap Building Repair').
Howard County commissioners approved a $57,000 contract with Pioneer Restoration to repair damaged steps at the county courthouse.
Bill Stone Street, presenting the Department of Business report, outlined the recommended work and itemized costs: west entrance coaling and patch repair for $16,000; replacement of five granite deck stones for $14,000; full removal and replacement of worn coaling at the east entrance for $19,000; and replacement of one large broken granite stone for $8,000. "The total cost for that is $57,000 to Pioneer Restoration and I'd like to pay for it from 1138.47241, which is Kumcap Building Repair," Stone Street said.
A commissioner moved to approve the contract and a second was made; the motion carried by voice vote. The transcript records the approvals by voice; no roll-call tallies or commissioner names tied to the motion were specified in the record.
The county has been seeking a contractor for the work for some time, Stone Street said, and he noted discussions with contractor John Reed that led to the current proposal. The contractor will perform masonry and replacement work at both the east and west courthouse entrances.
Next steps listed in the meeting record include executing a contract with Pioneer Restoration and charging the expense to account 1138.47241 as presented. The meeting did not record a separate procurement resolution or a full roll-call vote in the public transcript.
