Summary

After reviewing three bids, commissioners voted to award the courthouse concrete-repair contract to Back Construction; record shows competing bids and a discrepancy in the exact figure recorded during the motion.

Craig (speaker 7, maintenance) presented bids for sidewalk and bench-pad work around the courthouse and repair of restroom steps. He said Skyler Sibley Concrete LLC submitted a total of $23,500 and that Mike Back/Back Construction submitted $15,364. Commissioners discussed scaffolding constraints and timing before the pumpkin show and the parties agreed to wait for one remaining roofing quote before finalizing unrelated roofing work.

Commissioner (speaker 5) moved to accept Back Construction's bid; speaker 6 seconded and the board approved the motion by voice vote. During the meeting the dollar figure cited in the motion was recorded as $15,300 while the bid listing shows $15,364, a discrepancy noted on the record. Commissioners and maintenance staff discussed site protection (plywood), the need for a pump truck and guidance to inform the contractor when work could begin if scaffolding is removed earlier.

The motion authorizes county staff to proceed with the contracted concrete repairs; commissioners instructed staff to document the drawing and contract information in the county records and coordinate scheduling with scaffolding removal.
