- By Adam Cook BREAKFAST WITH SANTA

Catoosa County officials have approved a constructi­on contract to install new roofing at the library and health department on the Benton Place campus.

According to Public Works Director Donald “Buster” Brown, the two renovation­s were bid out as one combined project.

“This is a proposed award for the health department and library roof replacemen­t,” Brown said. “Bids were opened on Sept. 26 and the county received five bids. We evaluated each one, and the contractor being most responsibl­e was a bid from JDH Company

Brown explained that the work to replace the health department roof will cost more than that of the library.

“It was $66,000 for the health department, and then $23,000 for the library,” Brown explained. “The health department has never had a new roof, and I believe that building was built late 1990s. This summer when they got up there and had to work on the air conditione­r, it created a leak – it’s much needed.

Commission­ers unanimousl­y approved the bid by way of a 5-0 vote.

After the vote, Brown said the Colonnade building was also looked at, but it was determined that a couple of spots there could be patched without a full replacemen­t.

“We’re probably looking at four or five years out on the Colonnade,” Brown said.

“That’s going to be one that’s coming up in the future.”
