# Albany County Government - County Commissioners Regular Meeting - 11/09/2026

At the Albany County Board of County Commissioners regular meeting on November 9, 2026, commissioners acted on several county projects and purchases. They approved an amendment to Prairie Equipment’s agreement for demolition of the fairgrounds grandstand to address possible city-permitting delays. For the subsequent fairgrounds grandstand design-build work, the only submitted bid was deemed nonresponsive; commissioners rejected Capital Builders’ bid and approved pursuing alternative procurement methods, including cooperative purchasing and separate bids for project components. A guaranteed maximum price of $2,893,450 was discussed for the proposed design-build work. Commissioners also approved Prairie Equipment’s contract for the Thunderbird Motel RACM abatement and demolition project; the transcript identifies it as the low bid but does not capture the contract amount.

The board approved a $39,500 contract with Evergreen Solutions LLC for a county classification and compensation study covering approximately 73 job classifications. It also discussed a replacement Caterpillar 140 all-wheel-drive motor grader, with one bidder identified in the transcript as Machinery; the quoted price and final vote are unclear in the excerpt. Separately, commissioners approved a transfer of the Snowy Range Ski and Recreation Area liquor license, contingent on receipt of a Forest Service lease. Other agenda items included zoning and variance matters, a county employee wellness screening contract, and intercounty coroner mutual-aid arrangements; no additional procurement award amounts were clear in the transcript.
