Motion to award old-jail remodeling bid dies after questions; no contractor selected
Summary
After questions about bids for the county's old jail renovation, a motion to award the contract failed for lack of a second. Boyd Batterman of BIC answered commissioners' questions during the discussion.
The Saline County Board of Commissioners discussed bids for renovation of the county’s old jail during the March 17 meeting. Boyd Batterman, representing BIC, answered commissioners’ questions about the project and the submitted bids.
Commissioner Phil Hardenburger moved to award the old jail remodeling construction bid, but the motion “died for lack of a second,” and the board did not award a contract. The meeting record does not show a second, a vote, or any alternative direction for staff to follow, and it records no immediate further action on the matter.
The transcript indicates the board heard information from a bidder and discussed options but did not reach a decision to authorize work or award the contract. The board proceeded to other agenda items later in the meeting.
