Board awards $5.23 million contract for Austin Community Center to Braemar Construction
Summary
The county awarded the Austin Community Center contract to Braemar Construction: base bid $5,211,431.24 plus alternate $21,726.88 for a total of $5,233,158.12. Staff outlined extensive site improvements included in the award.
Lander County commissioners awarded the Austin Community Center construction contract June 12 to Braemar Construction with a base bid of $5,211,431.24 and a bid alternate of $21,726.88, for a total contract amount of $5,233,158.12.
Aaron Martinez, representing the project, described significant site work included in the bid—retaining walls, Nevada Street improvements, secondary parking and snow-storage planning—and said the price reflects both the facility and substantial site amenities. Martinez noted a roughly $30,300 unit-price discrepancy in the bid tabulation but said the recommended action is to hold the lowest total bid amount; the contractor Desti Shipp confirmed Braemar would honor the listed total. "So the total bid amount of $5,233,158.12" was read into the record during the discussion.
Commissioners asked about start timing; staff said the contractor will receive a notice of award, has 10 days to respond and then a 30-day period for final bonding and contract documents, so work could start in roughly 40 days. The motion to award the contract carried on a voice vote.
