Ramsey County commissioners approved a string of operational contracts and purchases at their meeting.
The commission accepted a low bid from TJB Construction for $86,450 to renovate a five-door building (concrete and floor heat) and approved a $4,292 quote from TJB for roof repairs; commissioners asked staff to secure a written warranty from the contractor for the roof work.
The board also approved a $3,100 purchase of a trailer from Runnings for cemetery and mowing operations and authorized payment of a $9,500 emergency culvert invoice to be paid from county emergency funds after staff confirmed the work fell within the declared 14-day emergency period.
Staff reported other small operational drainage items: county crews will install a 24-inch culvert at the Bartlett turnback in the coming week, and the commission approved a 36-inch culvert installation near the Ramsey/Nelson county line with a contractor quote of $4,500. All motions carried by voice vote.
