County approves 16 budget amendments and awards engineering contract for parking-lot work
Summary
Commissioners approved 16 project rollover and budget-amendment items across multiple funds and authorized engineering services for the Negaunee Service Center parking-lot reconstruction, awarding the design contract to UP Engineering and Architects for the low bid of $12,759.
The board approved a package of 16 budget amendments and carryovers that adjust multiple county funds and capital projects, and it authorized engineering services for the Negaunee Service Center parking-lot reconstruction.
Finance staff walked commissioners through the amendments, which included transfers and one-time purchases across general fund items (legal services, contingency), parks and airport funds (including a noted fuel-truck purchase and an airport boiler replacement), technology migration costs and other departmental adjustments. The transcript records an item described as a carryover of roughly $776,000 for one set of projects; the technology fund migration and contractual needs were described with a total of $376,200 in additional authorization. Commissioners moved to follow staff recommendations to adopt amendments 1—16.
On the Negaunee Service Center parking-lot item, staff presented four bids and recommended UP Engineering and Architects for engineering services. Commissioner Benzie moved to approve the low bid; the board approved contracting UP Engineering for engineering services for $12,759 and directed staff to bring construction bids to the board later. No construction contract was awarded at the meeting.
