Commissioners reject two bids, approve rebid and routine county payments
Summary
Purchasing recommended rejecting two bids (one omitted indigent program; one lacked liability insurance) and the court authorized a rebid; the court also approved routine bills, payments to cities from child safety fees, and payroll corrections.
Purchasing agent Darla Haynes told the court two bids submitted under bid number 2025-02 failed to meet specifications: one bid covered only jail services and omitted the indigent program; the other did not include required liability insurance. Haynes recommended rescinding the award and rebidding the procurement.
"Neither one of we got two bids in, and neither one met all of our specifications," Haynes said, recommending rescission and rebid in the countys interest. Commissioners approved the recommendation unanimously. The court also approved payment of regular bills, a payroll date correction for February 28, 2025, and a distribution of $43,482.83 in child safety fees to incorporated cities (county retained $4,714.20 for administration). Those financial housekeeping items passed without dissent.
Purchasing and county staff indicated several nonprofit contracts remain pending and that the county has paid most, but not all, budgeted nonprofit amounts for the child safety fee program; staff said some nonprofits have not returned annual contracts.
