The White County Board of Commissioners has selected Precision United of Cleveland as the Construction Manager at Risk for the new Fire Station 9, to be located on the northern end of Duncan Bridge Road.
White County Public Safety Director David Murphy, in presenting information to the White County Board of Commissioners last week, said of the five vendors who submitted bids for the job, three were local contractors: Charles Black Construction, Precision United (both in Cleveland), and Scroggs and Grizzle Contracting in Clermont.
Murphy told the board that they recommend Precision United for the job. Murphy said Precision has done the civil and architectural work on the project.
The commissioners approved the recommendation by a unanimous vote. Precision United will provide the commissioners with a maximum cost for the construction, and the commission board must approve it before work can begin.
Commenting on the local vendors who submitted bids, White County Commission Chairman Travis Turner said, “They all would do a phenomenal job.”
The commissioners hope to have the cost estimates for this project by August.
