Commission rejects over-budget bid for attorney-client room; will rebid
Summary
Commissioners rejected a single over-budget bid (exceeding a $10,000 grant) for an attorney-client room renovation and voted to rebid to match available funding.
The board considered bids for constructing or remodeling an attorney-client room. Staff reported a single bid that substantially exceeded the $10,000 grant available for the project. Commissioners discussed whether the room is legally required now or could be deferred, and whether state rules would later make the room mandatory.
The board voted to reject the current bid and to reissue the request for proposals to better align the scope with available funding. Commissioners noted the tight deadline on the grant money and the need to get more realistic contractor estimates before final award.
The board directed staff to re-advertise the project and to return a recommendation once bids are again collected.
