Animal shelter, take three

By Josh Sweigart | Tuesday, July 22, 2008, 12:14 PM

Butler County officials say bids received today for construction of a new animal shelter are finally under budget.

“It looks like we’re going to come in at around $3.2 million,” said County Administrator Tim Williams.

Since the shelter’s “groundbreaking” more than a year ago, designs for the shelter have consistently been over the county’s levy-backed budget for the building. Two prior rounds of bidding both sent the county back to the drawing board.

At one point, the county even considered firing the architect. Here’s a post on that and some more back-story.

Any thoughts?

UPDATE: Low bids for the shelter came in around $2.9 million, Williams said after reviewing the bids. The county has $3.3 million left to spend on the building. See a story in Wednesday’s newspaper.
