Two bids were received for the project, and they were publicly revealed for the first time at the supervisors’ weekly meeting Tuesday.

The building is located at 723 First Ave. S.

The first bid, from Jensen Builders Ltd., of Fort Dodge, was for $153,000. In the bid, the company said it could complete the project in 200 calendar days.

The second bid, from Woodruff Construction LLC, of Fort Dodge, was for $136,070. The company said in its bid that it could complete the project in 150 calendar days.

Other than placing the bids on file, the Board of Supervisors took no action on them. Supervisor Mark Campbell, who serves as chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said he anticipates the board voting to approve one of the two bids at next week’s meeting.

Campbell said the skylight has been giving the county a number of issues.

“We’ve had some maintenance challenges with it throughout the years,” he said. “Water leaking, some ice dams. We’re looking at a new skylight.”

Snyder and Associates, an engineering firm from Ankeny, has been leading the project, Campbell said.

There are several county offices in that building, including public health, the county attorney and the county veteran’s affairs commission.

Additionally, Campbell said Northwest Bank rents space from the county in the building.

“They’re an amazing tenant,” he said. “That’s why we’ve talked about trying to work with them to accommodate any needs and make sure we address any of their concerns.”

Other actions the board took Tuesday included appointing Kent Eimers to the Planning and Zoning Board for a five-year term and hiring a part-time correctional officer for the Webster County Jail.
