County awards $682,554 site-work bid to Kingspan in North Branch Industrial Park

Jeff Barclay told commissioners the county intends to accept and award the site-work bid on county-owned land in the North Branch Industrial Park to Kingspan Roofing and Waterproofing for $682,554. Barclay clarified that most work is on county land, though a small portion follows the rail spur toward the building; officials said Kingspan would assume maintenance upon occupancy and phase 2 would include track installation at a later date.

The board voted to approve the award by voice vote. Staff noted the award follows discussion at the prior work session and that Kingspan was preparing to hire locally as part of opening operations.
