Agenda Item: Animal Shelter Facility
Chairman Kay cited the need for architectural drawings for the proposed animal shelter facility in order to create common detail to be considered by all bidders. He listed several required components of the facility to be included in the drawings.
Commissioner Cooper stated the previous exercise asked bidders to consider a standard package, and that specific shelter needs would fit into those dimensions. Discussion ensued about size needs and specifications.
Chairman Kay suggested contacting Northwoods Land Surveying to determine their price to engineer the facility. Commissioner Cooper stated his opposition to the creation of architectural drawings because it would prolong the project. He favored acceptance of the bid submitted by McGahey Construction because it met the needs of a shelter facility.
The Committee discussed various dimensional and construction requirements. Commissioner Dale stated the idea presented by Chairman Kay was a better option. Chairman Kay suggested gathering the minutes of the Ad-Hoc Committee and the Meade study for consideration by local engineers who would design a facility based on the compiled information.
It was moved by Commissioner Dale, supported by Chairman Kay, to recommend that the County seek the services of a local engineer to design the animal shelter facility with the input of local officials. On a voice vote, the motion was CARRIED, 2-1.
