The Washington County Board of Supervisors met Tuesday. On the agenda was the review of bids for demolition and removal of structures and materials located at the old jail at 221 West 2nd St in Washington. The Board received three bids for the demolition of the property on Tuesday. The bids were $72,450 from Cornerstone Excavating, $44,500 from DeLong Construction, and $37,400 from D.W. Zinser Company.  Washington County Engineer Jacob Thorius had this to say about the bids received, “The first thing that jumped out to me is the wide range, and the bids and making sure, just concerned that they understand everything that is supposed to be done. They signed a document saying that they understand. There may be complete understanding about what needs to happen, and they can do it that much cheaper than anybody else.” After discussion from the board, it was voted on to accept the low bid from D.W. Zinser for the demolition.
