Finance committee approves county match to complete county generator replacements
Summary
The finance committee approved county cash support to complete a multi-site generator replacement and cover required electrical design work after bids came in higher than earlier estimates; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Vernon County Finance Committee approved a county cash match to complete a multi-site generator replacement project after staff reported bids and new design requirements had increased project costs.
A county staff member told the committee the original estimates were exceeded and that bids "So they were $12,493.12." Staff said the Department of Health Services requires state-approved electrical designs for health-care facilities and that an electrical engineer had been engaged for $4,500 to prepare those designs. The staff member said the project remained short roughly $16,009.33 and asked the committee for county match support; a committee member moved to approve the request, a second followed, and the motion carried by voice vote.
The committee did not record a written breakdown reconciling several similar dollar figures stated in the discussion; the staff presentation contained multiple closely related amounts for bids, match and shortfalls. The committee approved the requested match so installers can proceed once DHS approvals and final design documents are in place.
