Warrick County opens bids for new animal‑control facility; county will review bids
Summary
Bids for the animal‑control facility were opened July 13. Base bids reported ranged roughly from about $1.00 million to $1.3 million; the board took the bids under advisement and asked the county attorney to review contracts.
Warrick County commissioners opened sealed bids July 13 for a new animal‑control facility. County staff read base bids and alternates from six contractors and recommended the board take the proposals under advisement pending form and contract review by county counsel.
Staff listed base bids including Arc Construction ($1,056,400), Midwest Contracting and Maintenance Inc. ($1,000,147), Key Construction Company ($1,137,400), Empire Contractors Inc. ($1,053,620) and a higher bid listed for K & M Construction Services (approximately $1,299,000). Alternates included (1) a concrete pad and chain‑link fence with privacy inserts for future equipment and (2) epoxy floor coating for existing concrete floors; alternate prices ranged from roughly $31,000 to $59,000 depending on bidder.
The board voted to take the bids under advisement and to have the county attorney review the contract documents before award. Commissioners did not award a contract at the meeting and indicated they would return with a recommendation after staff completes the review.
Next steps: procurement staff will finalize bid tabulations, verify bidder forms and working‑availability requirements, and return a recommendation for award after legal review.
