Board approves putting barn and related roof work out to bid

The board voted to put a planned 40-by-60 barn and associated roof work out for competitive bids, after committee members described the scope (concrete slab, oil-water separator, accessible bathroom, and doors) and potential prevailing-wage implications. Trustees said combining the roof with the barn construction could reduce costs and that bid documentation should reflect accessibility and site requirements.

A trustee moved "to put the whole building out for bid" and the motion was seconded and approved. Members asked staff to prepare bid documents and obtain multiple estimates, noting that if the total construction cost stays under $25,000 prevailing-wage requirements may differ. The board also discussed porch and parking considerations and tasked staff with preparing bid documents for review.
