Johnson County awards Dunn Arena interior painting contract to Connor Fine Painting for $189,675

At the Feb. 23 meeting, county staff (Speaker 3) opened sealed bids for the Johnson County Park Dunn Arena interior painting project and announced a single bidder, Connor Fine Painting. Speaker 3 read the bid: "Lump sum, $189,675" and read an alternate line showing a voluntary alternate modified lump sum of $96,420.

Speaker 4 moved to accept the bid and Speaker 1 seconded. The presiding officer called the vote and recorded verbal "ayes;" Speaker 4 stated the motion carries. The board approved awarding the contract to the lone responsive bidder.

Contract details in the record are limited to the lump-sum amounts read aloud; staff did not read a full bid tab into the record beyond the amounts presented. The board did not discuss alternative procurement options on the record.

Next step: Staff will proceed with contract administration and scheduling with the awarded bidder according to county procurement procedures.
