Holding a special meeting Thursday, May 21, the County Commissioners discussed the Linn County Justice Center and the cost the construction management team River City Construction came up with after receiving electrical bids.
After a large increase in electrical bids, the commissioners opted to rebid packages with the bid opening last week. The apparent winner was Apple Electric.
The total amount of bids to build the Justice Center came in at approximately $20.6 million with an additional $4.7 million estimated to build the Government Administration Center near the County Courthouse.
