The Garfield County Board of County Commissioners on March 18 unanimously awarded Bid #24-10 to Henson Construction for Phase 2 of courthouse renovations and approved using American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to pay for the work.
Member David Loesch moved to award the bid to Henson Construction and the Board later approved and authorized the chairman to sign the contract. Vice-Chairman Clarence Maly moved and the Board approved Resolution #24-40 to allocate ARPA funds for Garfield County Courthouse Renovations Phase 2 (Bid #24-10) in the amount of $1,776,000.00. The recorded votes for these motions were Aye: Reese Wedel, Clarence Maly and David Loesch; Nay: none.
The contract and the ARPA resolution were recorded in the meeting minutes as separate motions: the first awarding the bid and authorizing the contract signature, the second designating ARPA as the funding source. The meeting record contains inconsistent numeric formatting for the contract amount in earlier lines; the item approved by vote is $1,776,000.00 as shown in Resolution #24-40.
No public comment or alternative bidders were recorded in the minutes. County Clerk Lorraine Legere recorded the motions and votes in the official minutes. The Board scheduled carryover items not acted upon to a later date and adjourned to meet again on March 25, 2024.
Next procedural steps in the minutes: execution of the contract and allocation of ARPA funds; the minutes do not specify a construction timeline, contract start date or detailed scope beyond "Courthouse Renovations (Phase 2)." Those details were not provided in the meeting record and are therefore not specified.
