Summary
The board reviewed quotes to replace water-damaged flooring in the Oak Street building (vacated by USDA) and moved to accept the low bid of $14,475 from Tom Davis; the renovation will allow probation to relocate and is expected to save about $30,000 annually by ending a rental contract.
Appling County accepted a low bid to replace flooring in the Oak Street building, a space vacated by USDA, to allow the county’s probation office to relocate and to eliminate a rental contract that staff said costs the county roughly $30,000 annually.
A staff member described water damage and multiple quotes for a 30-year flooring product and recommended the low bid: “So we went and got quotes, 3 different quotes on the 30 year LBT, floor. And I recommend we go with the lowest quote of $14,475 for Thomas Davis.” The presenter said the county would save about $30,000 a year by ending the rental agreement the county currently pays for.
A motion to accept the low bid from Tom Davis was made and seconded (Commissioner Kent and Mr. Glover are recorded as seconding in the transcript). The record shows no objection raised on the floor and discussion that the installer is local and provided warranty information; the board directed staff to proceed with the contract and the planned move of probation into the renovated space.
The transcript did not include a full roll-call vote tally by name.
