Starke County Maintenance Director James Coad presented quotes to the Starke County Commissioners for sealing the parking lot at Annex Building No. 1.
Quotes were given in the amount of $1,700 from Les Jensen and $2,400 from Scott Lehiy. The commissioners chose to go with Scott Lehiy for this job as Jensen completed a recent job. Coad said he would like to give Lehiy the work and the commissioners thought they would support both local businesses. The commissioners approved a motion to award Lehiy the bid to do the work.
In addition to the sealant, the parking lot would need to be striped and a handicap parking spot would need to be marked at the Annex Building No. 2. The work was to be done previously, but was left out. The company was also to install a seven-foot parking curb and didn’t do that. The highway department may be able to do that work.
