Lancaster questioned if he wanted to hold the bid and rebid at a later time? <br /> Lancaster stated she thought it was interesting there was only one bid, she thinks <br /> people are uncertain about rather they are even going to have a work force. <br /> Quandt stated that one of the reasons the fire marshal was after us was the number <br /> of people and right now with court house closed and very limited people. He stated it <br /> will need to be done sometime but not now he wants to return the bid to Mid Plains <br /> Construction Co. <br /> Dick Hartman stated he agreed and thinks this bid should be put off until fall, he <br /> stated that gives us time to see what happens with virus. He stated we are going to <br /> need the money. <br /> Jane Richardson stated this keeps getting put off and she feels this needs to be <br /> done to protect employees and tax payers, she stated they have not been protected <br /> at the Court House and this has been needed to be done 20 years ago, she <br /> suggested to open the bid and move forward with project. <br /> Richardson stated we have it budgeted and we have the money now <br /> Karen Bredthauer questioned what could happen to court house if we don't go <br /> through with this at this time or what would fire marshal do? <br /> Mr. Humphrey stated he could simply shut down building, he stated he is not saying <br /> that he would do that, but he knows he does stand by this and says it does need to <br /> get taken care of. <br /> Ron Peterson stated they should revisit in 120 days and that way they have much <br /> more understanding what is going to happen with the virus, he stated yes we did <br /> budget for this, but we did not budget for all the Corona virus stuff and this could be <br /> a significant amount, he stated he does agree it needs to be done in long term but <br /> during the health crisis needs to wait, he stated if they open the bid then they are <br /> obligated to move forward. <br /> Quandt stated that they could take bids in future, the courthouse as low numbers <br /> right now <br /> Bredthauer stated she did like Peterson's idea look at it again more like 90 day down <br /> the road. <br /> Humphrey stated they might should take advantage of the fact the courthouse don't <br /> have a lot of people in there might would save county money as the workers could <br /> work during day and not nights and weekends. <br />
