Roscommon County commissioners voted to accept Colvin's Plumbing, Heating and Electrical's bid to replace the county jail boilers and the county building's domestic hot water system, awarding the work at $560,424. The recommendation came during a regular meeting when a staff member said the selected bid met engineering specifications and was judged the most responsive and responsible bid.
The presenter said the team had interviewed the three lowest bidders and chose Colvin's after technical review: "We have done interviews and have come to a selection of Colvin's Plumbing and Heating for both of those," the staff member said. The clerk noted one bidder, JE Johnson, was not interviewed because it did not complete the bid specifications. Commissioners discussed vendor experience and warranties; one commissioner said Colvin's has a strong local reputation but the recommended company for controls is based in Alpena. The board approved the motion by roll call.
