Board approves remediation contract recommendation and courthouse change orders

Staff presented proposals for remediation of the courthouse third floor and bell tower and recommended awarding the work to a vendor listed in the packet (recorded as PENCO; packet and staff remarks include multiple spellings). Three proposals were described in the record: Trauma Services (lower page count of scope), Pemko (another vendor spelling variant), and Servpro (higher estimate). Staff noted PENCO has a master service agreement with the county and a history of work on the law library that allows fast mobilization and a re‑clean warranty if remediation fails clearance testing.
