Cameron County commissioners approve routine contracts, adopt procurement policy and open bids
Summary
At a regular meeting, commissioners approved a Trane HVAC service agreement ($5,250), adopted a procurement policy to meet 2 CFR part 200, approved the 2026 meeting schedule, and opened bids for Recreation Center improvements (plumbing bid $23,500; general bid ~$506,000).
Cameron County commissioners on Thursday approved several routine items and moved forward on capital work and policy updates.
Chair (speaker 1) asked the board to approve a $5,250 HVAC service agreement with Trane and to adopt a county code of conduct and procurement policy “to meet the standards established in 2 CFR part 200, the uniform administrative local requirements,” which the board approved by voice vote. The panel also approved the 2026 commissioners meeting calendar and opened bids for the Cameron County Recreation Center improvements.
Josh (speaker 4) summarized the two bids received for the Recreation Center: a plumbing trade proposal of $23,500 and a single-prime/general bid for approximately $506,000. The commissioners voted to accept and open both bids for review.
