The Erie County Commissioners on March 30 received bids for the Juvenile Justice Center HVAC System Improvements and voted to refer the submissions to the county Facilities Department for review and recommendation.
Purchasing Coordinator Emily Galloway opened the bid packet and reported a bid from BEST Commercial Energy Services of Akron, Ohio, in the amount of $1,280,300. The minutes list the county estimate for the project at $1,163,950. On a motion by Commissioner Old and second by Commissioner Shoffner, the Board voted to receive the bids and refer them to Facilities; the roll call was recorded as all aye.
Why it matters: The Facilities Department will review the bids, check compliance with bid requirements and return a recommendation to the Board; the listed bid exceeds the county estimate, which may factor into the Facilities Department’s recommendation and any subsequent award decision.
The meeting continued to other agenda items after the referral vote, and no award or contract was finalized at that session.
