(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission Monday approved a bid for a new landfill building.
The Commission voted 2-1 to accept the low bid submitted by RFN Construction, of Morrill, for the construction of an addition to the Noxious Weed/Solid Waste building at the landfill, along with the construction of concrete pads for $196,987.
Commissioner Bill Pollock cast the lone dissenting vote.
It was among three bids opened at the Commission's April 14 meeting.
The addition will house offices for the landfill and noxious weed directors, along with provide storage for noxious weed chemicals.
Commission Chairman Lucas Heinen said the new building is needed due to the poor condition of the current building.
The contractor is to complete the project by November 1st.
Funding for project will come from the Noxious Weed Department's capital improvement fund, with the Solid Waste Department making lease payments beginning in January 2026.
