North St. Kusgen Construction, of California, had the lowest bid with a base bid of $1,995,412. They also had the shortest timeframe, with a 240 day estimate for the project duration.
Commissioners now have an idea of how much the new sheriff's office will cost, and how long it will take to complete.
Representatives of seven contractors met Thursday afternoon in the old VFW hall to witness the opening of bids for the project.
