The Warren County Board of Supervisors rejected the bids on the Warren County Justice Center Project at their meeting Tuesday, starting the project over with a redesign of the building and new bidding process. Board Chair Crystal McIntyre tells KNIA News the overall bids came in high, but there were several favorable bids that the board considered accepting, before ultimately deciding to start over.

“In my opinion it’s a rabbit hole. You are going down to try and keep good bids, but what if the other bids don’t come back favorable again? Then we are contractually obligated to deal with those bids, and we would have to break that contract, and that is a lawsuit that the county did not want to occur.”

The board will discuss their plan moving forward at their next meeting on Tuesday, and meet in October to get an update on the redesign.
