Commissioners Meeting - 10/27/26

The Vigo County Commissioners meeting on October 27, 2026, included two procurement approvals. Commissioners approved estimates for demolition work on condemned properties from the lowest bidders: SNG Excavating, Bell & Bell, and OTD Development. The county did not provide a combined award total; officials cited a $41,000 demolition budget and also estimated the work would total less than $100,000, without clarifying the figures’ relationship. Commissioners also approved Tri-State Fire Protection’s $88,554.95 proposal to replace the courthouse fire-alarm panel and devices. Both motions passed, with no opposition recorded.

The board also approved the claims docket and a payroll docket, though the payroll amount is garbled in the transcript. Staff discussed an online process for routing and tracking public-records requests, the completed 2020 tax sale and taxpayer payment plans, and ongoing highway work, including paving, trail, and bridge projects. No additional procurement decisions were reported.
