County postpones jail bids vote by Val Verde court
Val Verde County Commissioners delayed action on jail renovation bids after only one total bid for all electrical plumbing and reinforcement work came in at 687065 from Solis General Construction Inc. A second bid for plumbing only was 158694 from E L Smith Plumbing. The court plans to negotiate and seek extensions as the jail standards commission requires updates and added features. Commissioner Torres moved to postpone and the court approved, with Mills noting a standby generator and expanded steelwork drove higher costs.
