Cleveland EMS garage repairs open for contractor proposals
White County is seeking proposals for repairs at its EMS ambulance garage in Cleveland, with submissions due by 3 p.m. Friday, July 31, 2026.
The county issued the request for proposals on July 2 for work at the garage at 1331 Helen Highway. The solicitation seeks a licensed commercial general contractor to address termite damage and related building repairs.
What the county wants repaired
The requested work includes repairs to termite-damaged stud walls, interior paneling, exterior siding and insulation. The project also includes securing loose or unattached truss bracing identified at the facility.
The repair documents describe a requested performance period of 30 days after the county issues a notice to proceed. That is the county’s requested completion period in the solicitation, not a confirmed construction schedule.
The project is still in the bidding stage
No contractor has been selected, and the county has not published a final project cost or construction start date. The next formal milestone is the proposal deadline on July 31 at 3 p.m. Eastern time.
After proposals are received, the county will review the submissions before deciding whether to award the work and issue a notice to proceed. Until those steps occur, the timing and cost of the repairs remain unsettled.
Why it matters in Cleveland
The project concerns a county EMS facility on Helen Highway, making the condition and repair of the building a local public-service issue. White County Emergency Medical Services lists Cleveland as the location of its county EMS headquarters.
The available procurement documents do not establish that ambulance service has been interrupted or that operations are being moved. They show that the county is seeking bids to repair identified building components while the project remains under procurement.
A contractor award and notice-to-proceed date will determine when the requested work can begin. Until then, the contractor, final cost and construction schedule remain undecided.
